  • kernel crash invalid opcode when testing error injection.

    Posted on

    When doing uncorrected error injection, we found the kernel crashed in

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa)
    Kernel 4.18.0-348.el8.x86_64 on an x86_64

    If we update the kernel to upstream 5.15, it will not crash.

    Test tool:
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/ras-tools.git

    Test command:
    ./einj_mem_uc -f 'single'

    Result:

    [root@localhost GreenTea]# ./einj_mem_uc -f 'single'
