Kernel Panic

[Christophe DUMONT]

We can put aside Java Memory Leak.

I downgraded to kernel 3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64, there are no more crashes. 

 

The bug comes from ‘futex‘ syscall. What can causes that bug and how can i investigate ?

That just tells you that the currently executing process was java. 

It says nothing at all about a memory leak, and as I already mentioned, if Java 
was leaking memory, it would almost certainly have been leaking memory on a 
previous kernel. 

The important part almost always isn't the running process, it's the kernel 
stack traceback, which in this case has 'futex' scribbled *all* over it. 

General rule of thumb: 

If you get more than one crash that has a similar traceback that points at a 
specific syscall, or file system driver, etc, the bug is almost guaranteed to 
be in that code. 

If you get a rash of crashes with *different* tracebacks, you probably have 
some other code that's overlaying memory.
