With 2.6.37-rc8 , run a fio test over nfs, with following jobfile, and we

Have you tried the same test on earlier releases?
I think the bug is old, yet only recently reported.
I tried with 2.6.36.2 , even there it is panicing.


This NFS-triggered kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:479 sounds very like
the FUSE-triggered kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475 on 2.6.36.1 for
which Miklos posted a patch on 14 December. Please give his patch
(below) a try and let us know if it fixes the issue for you - thanks.
Issue fixed with the patch, Thanks :)
Is this patch included in mainline ?

Apparently not. I'll update the patch and send it to Andrew shorty.

Thanks Miklos. Please let me know if further testing is required, happy to test.

Thanks,
-Guru
