While running ffsb tests on my ext4 filesystem, I got an Oops in cache_alloc_refill().
I turned on SLAB debugging and here is the message I got:

slab: Internal list corruption detected in cache 'buffer_head'(30), slabp ffff81007e100100(1515870810). Hexdump:

slabp->inuse = 1515870810 looks bogus. Is this easily reproducible ?

Hi Badari,
Thanks for your answer.
I didn't reproduce it without the latest ext4 patches. So I suspect a bug in one of them.
But how debugging this?
Which other debug traces can I turn on?
