Is it a BUG() in hugetlb_fault(), a bad pointer > dereference, etc...? I too would like some more information on the panic. If your analysis is correct, then I would expect the 'ptep' returned by huge_pte_offset() to not point to a pte but rather some random address. This is because the 'pmd' calculated by pmd_offset(pud, addr) is not really the address of a pmd. So, perhaps there is an addressing exception at huge_ptep_get() near the beginning of hugetlb_fault()? ptep = huge_pte_offset(mm, haddr, huge_page_size(h)); if (ptep) { entry = huge_ptep_get(ptep); ... -- Mike Kravetz
