Hi, any more information about this bug? How much memory do you have?

What ext3 filesystems do you have mounted?  The oops is in ext3 code:


handle_t *journal_start(journal_t *journal, int nblocks)
{
        handle_t *handle = journal_current_handle();
        int err;

        if (!journal)
                return ERR_PTR(-EROFS);

        if (handle) {
                J_ASSERT(handle->h_transaction->t_journal == journal); <----
                handle->h_ref++;
                return handle;
        }

It seems to be related ext3's quota code -- and again it seems to be related to
an attempt to free memory when the system is under memory pressure.  This looks
very much like a quota and/or ext3 bug.
