Subject: 2.1.45 reboots on encountering circular links
Hello,
When I make a circular link with 'ln -s foo foo' everything goes fine.
However, if I try to ls the directory, the kernel reboots.
No oops'es, nothing. I tried this on a ext2fs partition.
My kernel is 2.1.45 with fix to make sysrq.c compile and no other
patches. My config is:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KERNELD=y
CONFIG_NET=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=m
CONFIG_M486=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
CONFIG_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY=y
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_ISA=y
CONFIG_NE2000=m
CONFIG_MINIX_FS=m
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
The minix-modules has unresolved symbols:
__mark_inode_dirty
d_move
d_instantiate
