http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11688 ------- Comment #3 from tytso@xxxxxxx 2009-01-17 16:24 ------- 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. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
