Was it with 3.8.0-30.43 or 3.8.0-30.44? You can check the package version with "apt-cache policy <package_name>".

Can this be reproduced with a vanilla Linux kernel, or is it specific to one Ubuntu kernel sub-version ?

I can confirm it happens more often now, we just need to snapshot often

I have not tried with vanilla kernels, I am only using Ubuntu.

right now I am using
uname --all
Linux moya 3.8.0-32-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 1 22:35:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

To achieve this more reliably I was in eclipse with a remote sshed connection. I had 3 sessions going and was round robin snapshotting them. to do that in eclipse, highlight the 3 sessions and click on the camera button often.

LTTng kernel modules are now lttng-modules-dkms:amd64 (2.4~pre-0+bzr545+pack17+201310151711~ubuntu13.04.1, 2.4~pre-0+bzr547+pack17+201310281547~ubuntu13.04.1) according to my install log.

Hope this helps

As we mentioned offline, you can use this page:
https://code.launchpad.net/~lttng/lttng-modules/trunk
to map which upstream commit "bzr547" represents.

But also, we'd need to debug if those modules are actually loaded, it seems DKMS doesn't always want to overwrite the lttng-modules that come with the Ubuntu kernel.

I confirm this bug with kernel 3.8.0-31-generic, lttng (LTTng Trace Control) 2.3.0 - Dominus Vobiscum and the latest HEAD lttng-modules. The crash occurs in register_cpu_notifier() and also from unregister_cpu_notifier().

This might very likely be a Ubuntu specific kernel issue. Please let us know if you can still reproduce with a newer Ubuntu kernel. We're been unable to reproduce on our side.

Please also try reproducing in a VM environment. I suspect this issue might be caused by a Ubuntu driver module.

Thanks,

Mathieu
