Hello, mm experts,

I triggered an mm bug today, the full backtrace is here:

http://pastebin.ca/1831436

I am using yesterday's Linus tree.

It's not easy to reproduce this, I got this very randomly.

Some related config's are:

CONFIG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_SLABINFO=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set

Please let me know if you need more info.

Thanks.

Looks like regular SLAB corruption bug to me. Can you trigget it with SLUB?

Anyway, it seems very unlikely that it's caused by the SLAB changes in
-rc1 so I'm CC'ing scheduler and fs folks in case the oops rings a bell.

Run SLUB with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON or specify slub_debug on the kernel
command line to have all allocations checked.

Sorry, I can't trigger it today, either with SLAB or SLUB.

Is it the exact same version or is it a new git snapshot?

No, I did a git pull, but it looks like only some btrfs updates...
