Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception


It looks similar to one of the others we saw. Are you sure I should
back out all your previous patches? My stack looks like this:

Duane Griffin (1):
      ext3: validate directory entry

Josef Bacik (1):
      ext3 on latest -git: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

And I am using error=continue.

Now I've modified my scripts to also save the bad image, so I (or
whomever) can re-test a specific crash easily. For instance, this one
can be downloaded from
http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/ext3-crash-fs.bin.bz2 and mounted.
Then you run rm -rf mnt/* and it should crash.

Log is also available at http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/log-1216412153.txt
