Hi Thomas,

5.11 does not boot anymore on Ingenic SoCs, I bisected it to this commit.

Any idea what could be happening?

not yet, kernel crash log of a Malta QEMU is below.

update:

This dirty hack lets the Malta QEMU boot again:

diff --git a/mm/highmem.c b/mm/highmem.c index c3a9ea7875ef..190cdda1149d 100644 --- a/mm/highmem.c +++ b/mm/highmem.c @@ -515,7 +515,7 @@ void *__kmap_local_pfn_prot(unsigned long pfn, pgprot_t prot) vaddr = __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx); BUG_ON(!pte_none(*(kmap_pte - idx))); pteval = pfn_pte(pfn, prot);

• set_pte_at(&init_mm, vaddr, kmap_pte - idx, pteval);

• set_pte(kmap_pte - idx, pteval); arch_kmap_local_post_map(vaddr, pteval); current->kmap_ctrl.pteval[kmap_local_idx()] = pteval; preempt_enable();

set_pte_at() tries to update cache and could do an kmap_atomic() there.

So the old implementation used set_pte() while the new one uses set_pte_at().

Not sure, if this is allowed at this point.

The problem is the recursion kmap_atomic() -> __update_cache() -> kmap_atomic()

and kmap_local_idx_push() runs out if index space before stack space.

I'm not sure if the __update_cache() worked for highmem. It has been added for that in commit f4281bba81810 ("MIPS: Handle highmem pages in __update_cache")

but it assumes that the address returned by kmap_atomic() is the same or related enough for flush_data_cache_page() to work.

Thomas.
