Error description

  • System crash caused by the erroneous creation of an mmap alias
    translation of the wrong page size.  The problem requires the
    following conditions:  1. 64KB MPSS support enabled (vmo
    tunable vmm_mpsize_support>=2) 2. MAP_PRIVATE of a POSIX RT
    shared memory object 3. Load references to a 64K aligned and
    sized part of the object 4. Then call fork() 5. Additional load
    references to the same 64K part of the object
    
    After the system crash, an error log entry similar to this one
    will be reported:
