Unable to handle kernel paging request with rcu process callback

[sheneric]

Hi,

My imx6dl system occurs kernel panic randomly as following log.

system configuration:

SOC: i.MX6DL v1.3

Memory: 1G

EMMC: 16G

OS: Yocto 1.7

kernel: 3.14.28

The kernel panic occurs about 3~8 hours.

I found that if I changed the CPU mode from CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE to CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_INTERACTIVE, the kernel panic would not occurs. However I need the system running at 1G Hz frequency for the performance requirement.

I have checked rcu process callback function and found the kernel panic occurs  here linux/kernel/rcu/tree.c - Elixir - Free Electrons and it's previous condition. But it seems like this is corrected.

Does any one meet similar issue or can provide the direction about the cause of this issue?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.#####

Hi Shen

since 3.14.28 many gpu&arm errata were fixed, so may be recommended to move to L4.1.x or 4.9.x

kernels described on

i.MX 6 / i.MX 7 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP 

for example one can look at CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA in
