every so often, I’m seeing these in my dmesg output, and I’m not sure what they are?

host[32625]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000040abb8 sp 00007ff59d36bd40 error
4 in host[400000+1b000]
host[24560]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000040abb8 sp 00007f4fa1c4bd40 error
4 in host[400000+1b000]
host[8354]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000040abb8 sp 00007fa07330dd40 error
4 in host[400000+1b000]

in situ, the tail of dmesg looks like…

One thought on - Odd Dmesg Entries

  • Normally the “in $foo” bit at the end names a program or library. I
    wonder if the host[$foo+$bar] syntax revers to a KVM guest?

    It’s odd that it’s correlated in time with some automatic software RAID
    check you’ve got going there. Is the order segfault-then-md as a closely-spaced pair, followed by a gap in time?
