v2.6.1 (and 2.6.0) Kernel Panic in sysworkq

[NautDesigner]

Code runs fine in v2.53 but when running in v2.6, we get a kernel panic at the exit of a delayable workqueue function. 

Tracing the code and line number, it dies in Zephyr. No idea where to go from here so any help would be appreciated.

Hello, 

Could you please provide the output C:\ncs\toolchains\cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\arm-zephyr-eabi\bin\arm-zephyr-eabi-addr2line.exe -e /build/zephyr/zephyr.elf 0x2000fb38 in command line ? Make sure to point to correct path of your toolchain folder cf2149caf2.

If this does not work, please try with address 0x00045d0b

This should give some indication of what is causing this fatal error. What happens if you remove the build folder completely?

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Deleted all build folders and rebuilt the application.

D:\ncs\toolchains\cf2149caf2\opt\zephyr-sdk\arm-zephyr-eabi\bin\arm-zephyr-eabi-addr2line.exe -e .\build\zephyr\zephyr.elf 0x000668c2

The line it is referring to in this file is: 

    __ASSERT((flags & (GPIO_INT_DISABLE | GPIO_INT_ENABLE)) != 0U,

         "Must either enable or disable interrupts");

Line 44 in assert.c does not provide any good information, other than k_panic(). 

Could you run addr2line on address 0x00045d0b as well?

How are you calling gpio_pin_interrupt_configure() i.e. what flags are you setting. This seems to be due to given function not having either GPIO_INT_DISABLE or GPIO_INT_ENABLE. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind
