Ever since 6.10, my macmini G4 behaved unstable when dealing with lots of
I/O activity, such as sync'ing of Gentoo portage tree, unpacking kernel
source tarball, building large software packages (or kernel) etc.
After a bit of testing, and patient kernel rebuilding (while crashing) I
found the cuplit to be this commit/change
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/diff/?id=09fe2bfa6b83f865126ce3964744863f69a4a030
I've been able to reproduce this pata_macio bug on a desktop PowerMac G4
with the 6.10.3 kernel version. Reverting the linked change
("ata: pata_macio: Fix max_segment_size with PAGE_SIZE == 64K") makes
the errors go away.
CCing linux-ide and the authors of that patch; I hope this is OK with
you guys.
Exampe of what a opps/panic looks like (and they all look very much alike)
