Hi all,
Running a 2.4.0-text 10 + XFS + CONFIG_HIGHMEM4GB kernel on a
2p ia32 SMP box with 1Gb of memory, our XFS QA locks up the kernel
fairly repeatably.
It takes quite a while to happen and doesn't appear to be related
to XFS. It also only happens when CONFIG_HIGHMEM4GB is enabled,
which suggests it's a highmem interraction.
The problem appears to be a nested page fault while pulling in
a page from an exectuable on an ext2 partition.
I've attached a kdb backtrace. Does this ring any bells for
anyone?
