we use the 32.5.1 BSP and JetPack4.5.1 filesystem.
who know the issue and can help me?
thank you very much!!

#3

Is this a custom board or devkit?

Any more uart log prior to the kernel panic?

#4

hi waynetWWW

This is a custom board. Below attachment is the uart log
cu.SLAB_USBtoUART_202205101009.log (97.9 KB)

In the attachment, there are three time nomal boot info after power up and one reboot abnormally info after power up, please check!!

B.R.

#5

Learn to dump the full log first… remove the quiet from /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf so that full kernel log will be printed…

#6

Also, why does that first few reboots are without any error? Is that triggered by you or it happened by itself?

#7

hi WayneWWW

the first and second info is the normal booting info after power up triggered by me, so no any error
the third booting info with crash info is the abnormal rebooting info when system is running.

B.R.

#8

Ok, then could you dump the full log?

#9

hi WayneWWW

Do you mean dump the full log when TX2 abnormally reboot ? or dump the full log of normal booting is also ok?
Because the probability of TX2 abnormally rebooting is very low, so we need spend some time to reoccur the abnormal phenomenon.

B.R.

#11

Haven’t you notice your kernel log is not very long ?

#12

Yes, the log is captured from the uart, so it’s very slow

Also, we get the the full log of one normal booting from the kern.log
normal_kern.log (107.8 KB)

We will remove the quiet option to capture the full log of the abnormal rebooting form the uart if we reoccur the phenomenon

#13

Also, try to remove all peripherals and see if you can still reproduce the issue.

If you cannot, add them back one by one and see which one will cause the issue.

#14

Hi WayneWWW

We don’t reoccur the phenomenon, it’s a little difficult!
But We find the root cause, your mttcan driver has a bug!!
In the mttcan interrupt function:
mttcan_poll_ir
|–>ttcan_read_rx_fifo0
|–>|–>add_msg_controller_list
|–>|–>|–>kzalloc()

nvidia
nvidia1474×746 76.2 KB

kzalloc use the GFP_KERNEL, actually GFP_KERNEL shall not be used in the interrupt!! In some case, it will try to let the interrupt sleep, it’s very dangerous!!
Please check!
B.R.

#16

I will forward this issue to internal team to investigate, thanks for bring this issue.

#17

hi yxz1295324,
may i know which Release branch are you using? It should use GFP_ATOMIC.

#18

we have already updated to GFP_ATOMIC. You must be using old kernel. New Jetpack release is having GFP_ATOMIC. Please let us know if upgrading to new release is solving your issue.

#19

Hi,
We use the BSP: 32.5.1, Jetpack: 4.5.1.
B.R.

#20

Then please try to upgrade to new kernel.

#21

Hi，
I want to know from which version the kernel use the GFP_ATOMIC??
B.R.
