[    2.204550] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Full trace was 1800+ lines before rebooting: http://sprunge.us/ecgZ

I don't know whether this is grsecurity related or not. Please advise further action. FWIW this is fully reproducible and I can add any printouts to the source if this helps. Thanks!

can you resolve ffffffff812e569b with addr2line? if it resolves into the BUG_ON in sg_set_buf then we'll need the address of 'buf' too (it's probably in one of the registers but the dump you posted is cut short at the front so we can't see it).

Can you apply the patch at:

https://grsecurity.net/~spender/hvcfix.diff

and let me know if it fixes the issue?

Thanks,
-Brad

It just resolved to sg_init_one ??:?

It's cut short on the hvc0 terminal, so that's really all I've got:

I added this:

if (!virt_addr_valid(realbuf))
    printk(KERN_ERR "PAX buf,realbuf: %p,%p\n", buf, realbuf);


before the BUG_ON, and it prints stuff like:

Other than that, it does make the crash disappear. Thanks!
