This error warning message  is filling up my log running Unraid Version: 6.10.0-rc2  

 

I also see this on the boot process:

kernel: x86/split lock detection: #AC: crashing the kernel on kernel split_locks and warning on user-space split_locks

I see similar messages but only when my Windows 11 VM is running. But dont see crashes.

 

Dec 4 14:02:38 computenode kernel: x86/split lock detection: #AC: CPU 3/KVM/23134 took a split_lock trap at address: 0xfffff8035e0c9808

Also same here, but with a WIN10 VM - Unraid 6.10.0.rc2

Looks like it can be turned off if required.

 

Split-lock detection is enabled by default when it is supported by the hardware. However, system administrators have control over the feature: they can use a new kernel parameter (nosplit_lock_detect) at boot time to disable it. There is also a sysfs interface to disable it at runtime at /sys/devices/system/cpu/split_lock_detect.

I just figured I would post here as well since I just noticed I am getting this same message flooding my syslog running 6.10.0-RC2, appears to be only when my Windows 10 VM is running (hard to tell as it is nearly always running) but I can test this further if I need to. I did have it down for a backup on Feb 24th @ 19:40-20:59 or so and the errors disappear during that timeframe so I am pretty confident in the relation as well. Attached my logs for reference in case it is helpful.

 

This is not causing me any issues as far as I can tell, system has been working well and is stable.

 

Should I be worried about doing anything at this time to get rid of these errors or just ignore them for now?

Think you can ignore it.

my system is also absolutely stable, no issues so for.

i have this, how do you disable it? no need to have it in the logs if it isnt affecting the system

started when i did windows vm on unraid Version: 6.10.3

Would adding split_lock_detect=off to the syslinux.cfg as such accomplish this?

I think. option is nosplit_lock_detect but not tried. it

search split_lock_detect

i guess ill try both when i have a chance at rebooting and see which one works

just to be clear, this was the command that worked to silence these messages in the syslog.
