kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.35/mm/filemap.c:128!

[Robert ÅwiÄcki]

Hi,

I was doing some fuzzing with http://code.google.com/p/iknowthis/ and
my system pretty quickly crashes with the BUG() below.

- Even if it's just BUG() it renders my system unusable (I'm able to
type a few characters on the virtual terminal at most)
- Judging from the stacktrace it's sys_madvise(..., ..., MADV_REMOVE)
- I'm testing with ubuntu's 2.6.35-22-server#35 but I got similar
results with 2.6.32 some time ago
- I'm posting this cause diving into linux mm spaghetti code might be
not a trivial task, but if nobody can see anything obvious in a day or
so, I'll try to debug it mysel
- I'm unable to provide a testcase by now, nor any usable state of the
crashing process, cause the system becomes unusable
- It crashes both linux-kernel working on a physical machine as well
as on the VirtualBox emulator
- I'm usually waiting from 0.5h to 12h for this crash to appear, I
think it could be speed up greatly by disabling any irrelevant
syscalls in the fuzzer
