Need help in bug in isolate_migratepages_range

[Holger Kiehl]

Hello,

today one of our system got a kernel bug message. It kept on running
but more and more process begin to be stuck in D state (eg. a simple w
command would never return) and I eventually had to reboot. Here the
full message:

Kernel is a plain kernel.org kernel 3.12.9 and it uses drbd to replicate
data to another host. Any idea what the cause of this bug is? Could it be
hardware? The system has been running now for five years without any problems.

Please CC me since I am not on the list.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Holger
