            Bug ID: 224479
           Summary: kernel panic in reboot+swapoff sys call
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org

I built a new kernel on -current. The build was successfully, and I rebooted
the machine. To my surprise the machine hangs in a kernel panic during swap=
off
sys call.

It turns out that if the machine used some swap, it will panic at the next
reboot. This is 100% reproducible.

How to repeat:

# make sure that the machine used some swap. Here I=E2=80=99m using a perl =
script which
will=20
# grow at least a 1GB RAM big
$ perl -e '$a=3D`man tcsh`; for(0..3000) { $b.=3D$a}'

# check the swap usage, e.g.
$  top -b 2 | egrep ^Swap
Swap: 2500M Total, 18M Used, 2482M Free

# reboot the machine
$ reboot

on the console I get this:
swap_pager: I/O error - pagein failed; blkno 280694, size 4096, error 5
panic: swap_pager_force_pagein: read from swap failed

I saw this on two machines, one use a 1GB swap device and the other a 2GB s=
wap
file
cat /etc/fstab=20
/dev/vtbd0p3    /               ufs     rw      1       1

cat /etc/fstab=20
md99    none    swap    sw,file=3D/var/swap/swap.0,late   0       0

This problem is new to me, I didn=E2=80=99t saw this 3 weeks ago in Novembe=
r. Using
swapoff/swapon on the command line works fine.

Workaround: before a reboot, disable swap with the swapoff command:
$ swapoff  -a
swapoff: removing /dev/md99 as swap device
$ reboot

--=20
