[Bug 1556562] Re: VIA C7-D machine "kernel NULL pointer dereference" in skcipher_recvmsg_async

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected wily

** Description changed:

  I'm working on an Lubuntu 15 machine. It was chosen because it supports
  VIA C7-D processor and the VIA PM400 chipset without crashing (also see
  ). Lubuntu 15 uses the 4.2 kernel:
  
    $ lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
    Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
    Release:	15.10
    Codename:	wily
  
  And:
  
    $ uname -a
    Linux via 4.2.0-30-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 26 00:57:19 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
  
  When running a particular program (details below), it hangs in syscall
  248 and results in the following dmesg/syslog output. The process cannot
  be killed, the machine does not respond to a 'shutdown -r now', and the
  machine requires a hard reset.
