Hello Dave,
New kernel has moved some elements of struct vfsmount to a new struct
mount. So crash will not act normally on new kernel. The patch is used
to fix the problem.
Please check.

Hi Qiao,
This patch-set is very much appreciated. I saw Al Viro's original LKML patch
posted back in December (?), and had been waiting to see an actual kernel with
it in place. The most recent in-house RHEL/Fedora test kernels I have on-hand
are all 3.2.x-era kernels, which don't have the patch, so I'm presuming
you're
running on a 3.3.x kernel?
Anyway, I'll check this patch out for backwards-compatibility and try to
get a more recent kernel to test with. It looks good on paper...
And again, thanks for taking on this task.

I provisioned a system with a Fedora 3.3.0-0.rc6.git2.1.fc17 kernel, which
has the vfsmount->mount patch. The session comes up cleanly, but the
following commands fail:
crash> mount
... [ cut ] ...
mount: invalid structure member offset: vfsmount_mnt_list
...
crash> files
... [cut] ...
files: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers
...
The "fuser" command generates the above error because it uses the
"files" command behind the scenes.
crash> vm
... [cut] ...
vm: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers
...
crash> swap
... [cut] ...
swap: invalid structure member offset: dentry_d_covers
...
With your patch applied, "mount", "files", "fuser" and
"vm" all
work OK.
But "swap" now fails in a different manner:
crash> swap
FILENAME TYPE SIZE USED PCT PRIORITY
swap: invalid kernel virtual address: 1d8ec8 type: "fill_dentry_cache"
crash>
It's failing in its call to get_pathname(). I haven't had a chance to
fully check into why it's getting a bogus parent dentry address
while walking through the swap file's
"/dev/mapper/vg_dellpec610002-lv_swap"
pathname -- and I won't be able to until next week. But presumably it's
related, and so if you (or anybody) gets a chance this weekend, please
take a look.
Thanks,

You are right. I forgot to check every call to get_pathname. The new
patch has fixed the problem of swap.
Although the patch appears to work in the simple cases that I have tested,
I have a few issues with it.
First, the get_pathname() function prototype is -- and has always been -- this:
void get_pathname(ulong dentry, char *pathname, int length, int full, ulong vfsmnt)
where the "vfsmnt" argument has always been a struct vfsmount pointer.
With your patch, prior to making get_pathname() calls, you typically
make a VALID_STRUCT(mount) call first, and if true, you modify the
vfsmnt argument to be a struct mount pointer.
It would make more sense maintenance-wise, and would simplify the patch,
if the get_pathname() "vfsmnt" argument would continue to be a struct
vfsmount pointer. And at the top of get_pathname(), you could make the
adjustments for when it is embedded inside a struct mount.

If the vfsmount-to-mount calculation were always done in get_pathname() itself,
then the patches above would be unnecessary. The same is true for a few other
parts of the patch.
Did you consider doing it that way?
And consider the following patched version of display_dentry_info() below.
The two get_pathname() calls below would generate fatal errors on older
kernels because OFFSET(mount_mnt) will be invalid:
if (!found && symbol_exists("pipe_mnt")) {
get_symbol_data("pipe_mnt", sizeof(long), &vfs);
if (VALID_STRUCT(mount))

if (superblock && (sb == superblock)) {
get_pathname(dentry, pathname, BUFSIZE, 1,
vfs - OFFSET(mount_mnt));
found = TRUE;
}
}
If we can continue to have get_pathname() receive a vfsmount pointer,
it reduces the chance of introducing new bugs like the above, and future
maintenance will be easier.

If an equal vma is found, it will be printed like below.

Seems like a reasonable request.
However, I don't like your mixing it with the "-R reference" usage,
because it confuses things like this simple example:
crash> vm -p -s ffff810ec9f57818
VMA START END FLAGS FILE

If the command above were to be qualified with a "-R 4010e000" reference
check, it results in a nonsensical error message:

vm: only one -R option allowed
Usage:
vm [-p | -v | -m | [-R reference] | [-f vm_flags]] [pid | taskp] ...
Enter "help vm" for details.

A few suggestions:
(1) Don't even bother to tie it in with the "vm -v" option, because if
you already know the vm_area_struct address, then just print it with
"vm_area_struct <address>".
(2) Then, since it *only* applies with the -p functionality, make it
a new "-P <vmaddr>" option, where the help page explains that the
<vmaddr> argument must be a vm_area_struct of the current context:
Usage:
vm [-p | -P vmaddr | -v | -m | [-R reference] | [-f vm_flags]] [pid | taskp] ...
(3) Make -P mutually exclusive with all of the other options.
(4) Do not use the reference structure for this feature. Just use your new
flag, and pass the vma address in the 3rd "vaddr" argument to
vm_area_dump(),
since it's not even being used by cmd_vm().

I have modified the patch, please check.
OK, these are my suggestions to finalize this patch. First, fix this:
# make warn
...
cc -c -g -DX86_64 -DGDB_7_3_1 memory.c -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -fstack-protector
memory.c: In function "vm_area_dump":
memory.c:3503:7: warning: "single_vma" may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Wuninitialized]
...
Secondly, this command is no different from the other context-sensitive
"vm" command options, so please always print the task header like they
do. Just remove the three restrictions in cmd_vm() that do this:
- if (!ref)
+ if (!(ref || (flag & PRINT_SINGLE_VMA)))
print_task_header(fp, CURRENT_CONTEXT(), 0);
Third, the option is either going to work OK or fail to find the VMA.
Your patch does this if an invalid vm_area_struct address is entered:
crash> vm -P ffff880617e7af44
VMA START END FLAGS FILE
crash>
Regardless of success or failure, the print_task_header() call in cmd_vm()
should always show the task information. Then, if you actually find the VMA,
print the "VMA START ..." header along with its data:
crash> vm -P ffff880284cf87e0
PID: 13318 TASK: ffff8806294f2690 CPU: 11 COMMAND: "crash"
VMA START END FLAGS FILE
ffff880284cf87e0 400000 9fa000 8001875 /root/crash-6.0.4/crash
VIRTUAL PHYSICAL
400000 28c7fa000
401000 29470a000
402000 29470b000
403000 29470c000
404000 29470d000
405000 29470e000
406000 29470f000
...
But if the command fails to find the VMA, then indicate that under
the task header:
crash> vm -P ffff880284cf87e8
PID: 13318 TASK: ffff8806294f2690 CPU: 11 COMMAND: "crash"
(not found)
crash>
Lastly, please don't use subterfuge to accomplish the task at
hand. The setting of PHYSADDR in the vm_area_dump() function
makes no sense at all:
+ single_vma_header = 0;
+ if (flag & PRINT_SINGLE_VMA) {
+ flag |= PHYSADDR;
+ single_vma = vaddr;
+ vaddr = 0;
+ }
It may "work" by doing the above, but I'm sure you can accomplish
it just as easily using your PRINT_SINGLE_VMA flag and/or your new
local variables, making it both easier to understand and more
maintainable.
Thanks,
Dave

OK, these are my suggestions to finalize this patch. First, fix this:
# make warn
...
cc -c -g -DX86_64 -DGDB_7_3_1 memory.c -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -fstack-protector
memory.c: In function "vm_area_dump":
memory.c:3503:7: warning: "single_vma" may be used uninitialized in this

...
Secondly, this command is no different from the other context-sensitive

- if (!ref)
+ if (!(ref || (flag& PRINT_SINGLE_VMA)))
print_task_header(fp, CURRENT_CONTEXT(), 0);
Third, the option is either going to work OK or fail to find the VMA.
Your patch does this if an invalid vm_area_struct address is entered:
crash> vm -P ffff880617e7af44
VMA START END FLAGS FILE
crash>
Regardless of success or failure, the print_task_header() call in cmd_vm()
should always show the task information. Then, if you actually find the VMA,
print the "VMA START ..." header along with its data:
crash> vm -P ffff880284cf87e0
PID: 13318 TASK: ffff8806294f2690 CPU: 11 COMMAND: "crash"
VMA START END FLAGS FILE
ffff880284cf87e0 400000 9fa000 8001875 /root/crash-6.0.4/crash
VIRTUAL PHYSICAL
400000 28c7fa000
401000 29470a000
402000 29470b000

404000 29470d000
405000 29470e000
406000 29470f000
...
But if the command fails to find the VMA, then indicate that under
the task header:
crash> vm -P ffff880284cf87e8
PID: 13318 TASK: ffff8806294f2690 CPU: 11 COMMAND: "crash"
(not found)
crash>
Lastly, please don't use subterfuge to accomplish the task at
hand. The setting of PHYSADDR in the vm_area_dump() function
makes no sense at all:
+ single_vma_header = 0;
+ if (flag& PRINT_SINGLE_VMA) {
+ flag |= PHYSADDR;
+ single_vma = vaddr;
+ vaddr = 0;
+ }
It may "work" by doing the above, but I'm sure you can accomplish
it just as easily using your PRINT_SINGLE_VMA flag and/or your new
local variables, making it both easier to understand and more
maintainable.
The patch is modified. I think I need to pay more attention to
maintainable and thanks for your patience.

The patch is modified. I think I need to pay more attention to
maintainable and thanks for your patience.
I reworded the help page a little, but other than that the patch
looks good, and is queued for crash-6.0.5.
Thanks,

New subject: The "ctrl + c" doesn't work in crash
Hi Dave,
I found the "ctrl + c" doesn't work well in crash. Sometimes, we may type a
wrong command and want to directly cancel it by "ctrl+c" like in the bash. But
this combination only do seldom response, what I mean is I once see it works once or
twice.
I also notice there was a mail thread talking about it:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2009-October/msg00006.html
But on the most new crash 6.0.4, simply ctrl+c three times or more would not lead to a new
prompt...
Thanks,
Lei

SIGINT's are always caught, and it depends upon whether the command is
currently being fed into the scroller, and in some cases, the command
itself. See the callers of received_SIGINT() for example.

I see...

three ctrl+c. No idea why previous ctrl+c not working...
I still get a another display issue regarding the ctrl+c.
I use the "log" command to show the kernel dmesg, and always the message buffer
is large which cannot be displayed in one screen. So I could see the below notice in the
foot of the screen:
-- MORE -- forward: <SPACE>, <ENTER> or j backward: b or k quit: q
If I type "ctrl+c" when the message still not get fully displayed, eventually I
would see the previous only one foot notice would show up several and keep growing.
Like this:
[ 413.741638] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
[ 413.749725] pgd = d3e90000
[ 413.752441] [00000000] *pgd=12109831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
-- MORE -- forward: <SPACE>, <ENTER> or j backward: b or k quit: q
-- MORE -- forward: <SPACE>, <ENTER> or j backward: b or k quit: q
-- MORE -- forward: <SPACE>, <ENTER> or j backward: b or k quit: q
And when this abnormal happens, the <space> would be displayed normally as before,
but when the whole message is drained out, the console prompt would not be displayed. And
each <enter> after this abnormal, would lead to another such notice to be showed up
like the message buffer itself.
So is it a bug for the cmdline handling?
Dave

Well, it's just the behavior when the "less" scroller is being used.
Why not just do what the prompt says, and just enter "q"?

I don't fully understand your description, but why not do what the

Yep, the 'q' certainly works. Just for testing. :)

I have reviewed and tested this patch, and it looks to be both complete
and simpler to maintain. Queued for crash-6.0.5.
