#1322 closed bug (fixed)

vm_soft_fault: va 0xdeadbeef not covered by area in address space

Reported by: jonas.kirilla Owned by: axeld
Priority: critical Milestone: R1/alpha1
Component: System/Kernel Version: R1/pre-alpha1

Description

Running this line in one or more Terminals

while (true); do times > /dev/null; done

sometimes crashes.

It may take a while, more than 5 minutes on my 2GHz real hardware, and sometimes it doesn't happen unless one does other things like selecting/copying text in the busy Terminal, fiddling with ProcessController, opening the Haiku menu or something.

The crash output seems to differ between running a single terminal and when running in multiple Terminals concurrently.

See attached zip with 4 KDLs.

Thank you, that's very helpful!

BTW, please don't zip serial debugs/syslogs. That's just unhandy, since people have to download and unzip the archive first instead of being able to look at them directly in the browser.

Sorry. I'll try to remember this.

Perhaps the Admin Team could discuss and publish a short FAQ on how to use the bug tracker. I'm sure pet peeves would be easy to list. ;)

I can't reproduce it here at all (I've got 3 Terminals running for more than 1 hour now). I only see that semaphores and memory is leaked; looks like the vm_cache references are not maintained correctly in some cases. Can you still reproduce this bug on your hardware?

No, it doesn't seem to happen anymore.
