This is a fresh install. On the first boot, I did an `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade", then this error has been showing up on every boot since.

Happens on my system too. I did a fresh install of Vivid daily two days ago (Feb 3), did a update/upgrade today (Feb 5), and after the reboot dmesg shows:

I've installed v3.19-rc7-vivid (thus now running 3.19.0-031900rc7-generic) and the dmesg message is gone now. Good!

FWIW: with

linux-headers-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb

I did

sudo dpkg -i *031900rc7-generic_3.19.0*deb

and the kernel itself went OK, but the headers didn't:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-headers-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic

But could be a noob thing, but I can't find it. Tips welcome

@myself:

It was a noob thing indeed:

I had

linux-headers-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb

and needed the "all.deb" file too:

linux-headers-3.19.0-031900rc7_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_all.deb
linux-headers-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.19.0-031900rc7-generic_3.19.0-031900rc7.201502020035_amd64.deb

And with these three files the "sudo dpkg -i *deb" went fine.

Generic command to get and install the three needed debs (amd64, generic):

lynx --dump http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19-rc7-vivid/ | grep -e all.deb -e "generic.*amd64" | awk '{ print "wget " $2 }' | /bin/sh
sudo dpkg -i *deb

I'm now running the latest 3.18 (3.18.0-13-generic) which arrived today (Feb 10), and no more slub.c messages in dmesg.

So ... was it solved in 3.18.0-13-generic?

It seems to fix a kfree of an uninitialized pointer, which seems to be what is happening here.

OK, now running that new kernel. Well, at least I think it is, but it says:

Made on Feb 6? Can that be right? There was no sign of "3.18.0-13.14~lp1418286v1" in my Grub menu, only 3.18.0-13. Is that good?

dmesg now shows 129 times this line

Request for unknown module key 'Magrathea: Glacier signing key: bf41f129406f110879b32f34256d25445a48cb14' err -11

... so that is a sign I do have another kernel. ;-)

Snippet from "sudo dpkg -i *deb':
"Setting up linux-image-extra-3.18.0-13-generic (3.18.0-13.14~lp1418286v1) ..."

So far no slub.c in dmesg

From the above, it looks like you are not running the test kernel. I don't think 'uname -a' would show the "lp1418286v1" string, but the build date should be Feb 17, not 6. (BTW, running something like 'dmesg|grep "Linux version"' should show that "~lp1418286v1" string).

So, it looks like the installation of the 4 .deb files failed, in particular the linux-image-3.18.0-13-generic* one. Could you please take a look at the output and see if you see any error? (The "Request for unknown module key..." lines seems to indicate that the linux-image-extra... package was indeed installed.)

So:
1) still no slub.c messages; that's good.
2) The "Linux version" does show "Ubuntu 3.18.0-13.14-generic". Is that your kernel version? I'll do the download & install procedure once again anyway:

I'll remove all 3.18 kernels, boot into 3.19, and reinstall your kernels.

sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.18.0-12-generic linux-image-3.18.0-13-generic linux-image-extra-3.18.0-12-generic linux-image-extra-3.18.0-13-generic linux-image-generic

After the autoremove & purge, reboot into 3.19, and a fresh install of your kernel debs, things look better:

That's your kernel, right?

Looks good too, doesn't it?

sander@superstreamer:~$ dmesg | grep -i glacier

sander@superstreamer:~$

No more Glacier messages. Hooray!

So: installing the kernel now looks good. Sorry for the noise.

I'll now keep the kernel running for a few hours and check for slub again.

Thank you.

Awesome, thanks for testing. The kernel currently in -proposed is 3.18.0-14.15 and it's likely the last 3.18 kernel for Vivid -- the next one should already be a 3.19 kernel. Since 3.19 kernel already contains the fix for this bug, I don't think there's a need to actually SRU the fix as it will not actually be uploaded.

I'm changing the bug status to 'Triagged'; feel free to change it to 'Fix released' once you get a 3.19 kernel.

Changed in linux (Ubuntu):
status: Incomplete → Triaged
