Ping.
Any suggestions how to debug this or what might cause the problem?
Obviously, we cannot control Xen on the Amazon's servers. But perhaps there is
something we can do at the kernel's side, is it?

Hi,
One of our users gets kernel panics from time to time when he tries
to
use his Amazon EC2 instance with CentOS7 x64 in it [1]. Kernel panic
happens within minutes from the moment the instance starts. The
problem
does not show up every time, however.
The user first observed the problem with a custom kernel, but it was
found later that the stock kernel 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64 from
CentOS7 was affected as well.
Please try this patch:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7b0767502b5db11cb1f0daef2d01f6d71b1192dc
Regards,

Unfortunately, it did not help. The same BUG_ON() in blkfront_setup_indirect()
still triggers in our kernel based on RHEL's 3.10.0-327.18.2, where I added the
patch.
As far as I can see, the patch makes sure the indirect pages are added to the list
only if (!info->feature_persistent) holds. I suppose it holds in our case and
the pages are added to the list because the triggered BUG_ON() is here:
if (!info->feature_persistent && info->max_indirect_segments) {
<...>
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&info->indirect_pages));
<...>
}
That's odd.
Could you please try to reproduce this issue with a recent upstream kernel?
Yes, will try to.
Thanks,
Bob
So the problem is still out there somewhere, it seems.

Evgenii
The part of the system log he was able to retrieve is attached. Here
is
the bug info, for convenience:

[ 2.495618] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
------------------------------------
Xen version 4.2.
EC2 instance type: c3.large with EBS magnetic storage, if that
matters.
Here is the code where the BUG_ON triggers (drivers/block/xen-
blkfront.c):
------------------------------------
if (!info->feature_persistent && info->max_indirect_segments) {
/*
* We are using indirect descriptors but not persistent
* grants, we need to allocate a set of pages that can be
* used for mapping indirect grefs
*/
int num = INDIRECT_GREFS(segs) * BLK_RING_SIZE;
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&info->indirect_pages)); // << This one hits.
for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
struct page *indirect_page = alloc_page(GFP_NOIO);
if (!indirect_page)
goto out_of_memory;
list_add(&indirect_page->lru, &info->indirect_pages);
}
}
------------------------------------
As we checked, 'info->indirect_pages' list indeed contained around
30
elements at that point.
Any ideas what may cause this and how to fix it?
If any other data are needed, please let me know.
