Bug #3633
open
kernel panic due to debugging a user-land software
0%
Description
I wrote a small program to catch packets from a network interface.
http://silversoft.net/~denis/pkt_catcher.c (compiled by gcc)
When I debugged it in gdb step by step, the kernel was panic.
some info from mdb:
cpu 0::panicinfo
thread ffffff0005cc5c40
message assertion failed: msg_size == msgdsize(mp), file: ../../common/fs/sockfs/sockcommon_sops.c, line: 1261
...
the dump is available here:

I modified your test program to run for 20 mins and in that time i did not see any panics.
Is this issue your facing coming only when you gdb through the program?
I'm running on OI_151a7 and i've not seen this issue!

I got the panic when the program was stopped in a debugger,
probably, it was overflow of a kernel queue.
Of course, it does not panic until the program stopped.
btw, OI version was the same.

Sham --> an ASSERT only trips on a DEBUG kernel. Build your own DEBUG kernel and onu to it.
Denis --> I'm assuming you compiled your kernel debug, as you wouldn't trip an ASSERT any other way.
so_queue_msg_impl() gets a size passed to it, but it doesn't match the msgdsize(mp) of the mblk chain passed into it. Question is, how? Single-stepping SHOULDN'T be a factor in causing it, but you never know....

Indeed, it isn't - I've reproduced the issue leaving the pkt_catcher running overnight, the system is pretty much idle VM (used for builds only).
