File linux-2.6-nfs-oops-in-nfs_cancel_commit_list.patch of Package kernel
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:12:25 -0400 From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Subject: [RHEL5 Patch] Fix oops in nfs_cancel_commit_list (BZ 210679) IBM was doing NFS stress testing on the beta kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB and noticed an occasional panic in dec_zone_page_state() when called from nfs_cancel_commit_list(). They posted the problem on the nfs@sf.net list and Trond M. eventually posted the following patch that fixed the problem for them. The patch description explains the problem and solution as well as I can, so here it is. Please ACK. -- Jeff commit b6dff26a08189932eeb0fa4261e09e733b0fc540 Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Thu Oct 19 23:28:38 2006 -0700 [PATCH] NFS: Fix oops in nfs_cancel_commit_list Fix two bugs: - nfs_inode_remove_request will call nfs_clear_request, so we cannot reference req->wb_page after it. Move the call to dec_zone_page_state so that it occurs while req->wb_page is still valid. - Calling nfs_clear_page_writeback is unnecessary since the radix tree tags will have been cleared by the call to nfs_inode_remove_request. Replace with a simple call to nfs_unlock_request.
