Subject: [RFC] panic when reboot the system
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 15:17:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5577E483.7060500@huawei.com> (raw)

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000007

Pid: 1, comm: init Tainted: G  R        O 3.4.24.19-0.11-default #1

The system has a little memory left, then reboot it, and get the panic.
Perhaps this is a bug and trigger it like this and the latest kernel maybe
also have the problem.

use a lot of memory
  wake up kswapd()
    reclaim some pages from init thread (pid=1)
      reboot
        shutdown the disk
          init thread read data from disk
            page fault, because the page has already reclaimed
              receive SIGBUS, and init thread exit
                trigger the panic


Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
