With 3.1-rc9 during a filesystem dump, this occurred, I thought a previous
patch fixed this but it did not, it occurs MUCH less (first time in a couple
of weeks) but the problem still occurs.

Shaohua's nr_skip patch fixed, or at least worked around, the error I
introduced there in 3.1-rc1. But now you're finding a similar problem
still in 3.1-rc9: that confirms what you and others already reported,
that something like it occurs even in 3.0 without my bug.

Thanks,

Patch applied:

# patch -p1 < /tmp/memory_patch.patch
patching file mm/filemap.c
patching file mm/memcontrol.c

Now running 3.1-rc9 + this patch + re-enabled frame pointers.

Justin.
