Re: Linux 2.6.11-rc1

[Terence Ripperda]

this looks suspiciously like a kernel bug Andi Kleen and I are
currently investigating. He has fixes in the bk branches. I would have
expected them to be in such a new kernel, but I noticed that you're
using an x86 kernel, and his initial fixes were only in the x86_64
arch files.

change_page_attr has a book-keeping bug that surprisingly hasn't
caused problems until recently (on my todo list is to track down what
caused this problem to suddenly start triggering).

the x86_64 change in bk is here, but the only thing you really need is
the 'get_page' fix. you should be able to manually edit
linux/arch/i386/mm/pageattr.c:__change_page_attr(), update that single
line and be fine:

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/arch/x86_64/mm/pageattr.c@xxxx?nav=index.html|src/|src/arch|src/arch/x86_64|src/arch/x86_64/mm|hist/arch/x86_64/mm/pageattr.c

Thanks,
Terence
