Here is the code which causes the problem:
int try_to_free_buffers(struct page * page_map, int wait)
{
struct buffer_head * tmp, * bh = page_map->buffers;
int too_many;
tmp = bh;
do {
if (buffer_busy(tmp))
goto busy;
tmp = tmp->b_this_page;
} while (tmp != bh);
succeed:
...
The problem is that "page_map->buffers" is pointing to the address
"40000000".
Now I'm not sure if this can be caused by a memory problem.
