Hi I have found a data corruption on Ultra 5 onboard CMD646 IDE controller --- when both channels read data simultaneously and SSD is connected to one of the channels, the reads on the other channel are corrupted (flipped bits 1->0 or corrupted 32-bit words). Many userspace programs were crashing while running in this state - the problem is that when testing for this, I experienced this BUG in fault_64.c. There is no way how corrupted disk data could crash the kernel (unless you are loading kernel modules or fimware, which I didn't), so my suspicion is that there is a bug that executing instruction stream with randomly corrupted bits or words can cause a kernel crash. The fault_code variable that triggered is in l2, it's 0xfe, the fault address is in l3. Do you have any idea how this could (or couldn't) happen?
