Hi, after upgrading from 3.13-rc8 to 3.14.0-rc2 on this PowerPC G4 machine, the WARNING below was printed. Shortly after, a lockdep warning appeared (possibly related to my post to the XFS list yesterday[0]). Even later in the log an out-of-memory error appeared, that may or may not be relatd to that WARNING at all but which I'm trying to chase down ever since 3.13, but which tends to appear more often lately. Can anyone take a look if this is something to worry about? Full dmesg & .config: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/3.14-rc2/mm/ Thanks, Christian.
