Q. about oops backtrace

Hello:

I was investigating an oops and the trace looked like this:

>>EIP; c01c54a9 <lvm_do_remove_proc_entry_of_vg+9/c0> <=====
Trace; c01c3654 <lvm_do_vg_rename+84/250>

Trace; c01091c7 <system_call+33/38>

What is with those recursive handle_mm_fault calls?
That does not look quite right. I _assume_ that the
stack would collapse properly upon return, but still...
I would appreciate a suggestion about what .S file to read
for the explanation.
