[new 2.6.21-rc6 crash] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6ceb

[Ingo Molnar]

i just got the crash below (with slab debug enabled) on -rc6-git4. I 
never saw this one before, and as you can see from the recompile count, 
i've rebuilt this tree a fair number of times - and the config didnt 
change much.

I promptly re-tried the same bzImage but the crash did not reoccur.

So we've got a memory corruptor of some sort in v2.6.21-to-be. I'm 100% 
sure that i never saw this under any v2.6.20 variant or on any prior 
kernel. The crash site corresponds to a module-refcount dec:

(gdb) list *0x00000000c013c1f4
0xc013c1f4 is in module_put (kernel/module.c:801).
796
797     void module_put(struct module *module)
798     {
799             if (module) {
800                     unsigned int cpu = get_cpu();
801                     local_dec(&module->ref[cpu].count);
802                     /* Maybe they're waiting for us to drop reference? */
803                     if (unlikely(!module_is_live(module)))
804                             wake_up_process(module->waiter);
805                     put_cpu();
(gdb)

NOTE: i'm still using a bzImage kernel, so there are no true modules in 
the kernel. (This also makes it pretty likely that this is not a build 
artifact either.)

(config and full bootlog attached.)
