I have been trying to solve a problem I keep seeing on m68knommu (on a
coldfire 5271).
I get:
[42949397.330000] BUG: failure at mm/page_alloc.c:426/page_is_buddy()!
[42949397.330000] Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
The page_count is checked and should be 0, but is in fact 1 in this case.
I am booting with an initramfs and using that as root.
If I pass 'retain_initrd' then there is no problem (but I loose about
1MB of the 8MB of ram which isn't great). If I use nfsroot, then
there also is no issue. It seems that the memory that is returned by
free_initrd_mem on m68knommu is somehow not correctly initialized and
breaks the system as soon is it is used.
I don't know if the bootloader isn't reserving memory for the initrd
correctly, or if it isn't freed properly or what the issue is. All I
can tell so far is that not freeing the initrd memory back to the system
makes the problem go away (instead of failing in the first 15 seconds,
I have run for days without issue when not freeing).
Of course none of the existing m68knommu targets seem to actually use
an initrd, so I have no doubt that it hasn't had much testing lately.
I have tried with a git tree checked out last friday, and it has the
same behaviour.
Here is the boot messages with some extra debuging thrown in:
