I've found a regression of nilfs2 file system in 2.6.39-rc1.
The recent per-queue plugging removal patch causes kernel oopses in
nilfs. The following patch will fix this.
I'll send it to Linus along with other bug-fixes.
Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi

This oops was brought in by the change "block: remove per-queue
plugging" (commit: 7eaceaccab5f40bb). It initializes mapping->a_ops
with a NULL pointer for some pages in nilfs (e.g. btree node pages),
but mm code doesn't NULL pointer checks against mapping->a_ops. (the
check is done for each callback function)
This corrects the aops initialization and fixes the oops.
