When I use irqpoll option I get the following oops in create_empty_buffers(): it is not expected that alloc_page_buffers(page, blocksize, 1) can return NULL, but it does it because of requested blocksize is more than PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately I have not any ideas how to fix this issue correctly. thank you, Vasily Averin BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 printing eip: c0191790 *pde = 37b31001 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: thermal processor fan button battery asus_acpi ac lp parport_pc parport floppy ehci_hcd uhci_hcd sg e1000 i2c_i801 i2c_core ide_cd cdrom shpchp usbcore CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c0191790>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010296 (2.6.19-rc3 #1) EIP is at create_empty_buffers+0x30/0xb0 eax: 00000000 ebx: c16e1360 ecx: c16e1360 edx: 00000000 esi: 00000000 edi: 00000000 ebp: f7a720ac esp: f7f3bc5c ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process lvm.static (pid: 2249, ti=f7f3a000 task=f7bce550 task.ti=f7f3a000) Stack: c16e1360 00010000 00000001 00010000 00000000 f7a72150 c0192491 c16e1360 00010000 00000000 00000011 f7f3bcb8 c01059fe 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000440 00010000 00000003 c16e0740 f7a72150 00000004 c0103ace 00000000 Call Trace: [<c0192491>] block_read_full_page+0x251/0x3a0 [<c01059fe>] do_IRQ+0x6e/0xd0 [<c0103ace>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [<c0147cac>] add_to_page_cache+0x9c/0xc0 [<c014f515>] read_pages+0x45/0x100 [<c0195a10>] blkdev_get_block+0x0/0x80 [<c014d035>] __alloc_pages+0x55/0x320 [<c014f73d>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x16d/0x180 [<c014f8b9>] blockable_page_cache_readahead+0x59/0xd0 [<c014fb3e>] page_cache_readahead+0x13e/0x1f0 [<c0148980>] do_generic_mapping_read+0x4c0/0x600 [<c0148de4>] generic_file_aio_read+0x214/0x250 [<c0148ac0>] file_read_actor+0x0/0x110 [<c016bbee>] do_sync_read+0xde/0x130 [<c0136e60>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x60 [<f8846d08>] usb_hcd_irq+0x28/0x70 [usbcore] [<c0145e48>] misrouted_irq+0xd8/0x150 [<c0146016>] note_interrupt+0x96/0xe0 [<c016bcfe>] vfs_read+0xbe/0x1a0 [<c016c101>] sys_read+0x51/0x80 [<c0103147>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ======================= Code: 00 00 53 83 ec 0c 8b 5c 24 1c 89 74 24 08 8b 44 24 20 8b 7c 24 24 89 1c 24 89 44 24 04 e8 69 f4 ff ff 89 c6 89 c2 90 8d 74 26 00 <09> 3a 89 d0 8b 52 04 85 d2 75 f5 89 70 04 8b 43 10 83 c0 44 e8 EIP: [<c0191790>] create_empty_buffers+0x30/0xb0 SS:ESP 0068:f7f3bc5c <3>irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [<c0145eea>] __report_bad_irq+0x2a/0xa0 [<c014602f>] note_interrupt+0xaf/0xe0 [<c0146888>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xc8/0xe0 [<c01059f9>] do_IRQ+0x69/0xd0 [<c0103ace>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [<c0101082>] mwait_idle_with_hints+0x32/0x40 [<c01010a8>] mwait_idle+0x18/0x30 [<c0100ef3>] cpu_idle+0x73/0x90 [<c0552a5a>] start_kernel+0x1ca/0x220 [<c0552370>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1e0 ======================= handlers: [<c02b30c0>] (ide_intr+0x0/0x170) Disabling IRQ #17 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
