| |
Hi,
On a new PII-SMP machine (2xPII 400, ASUS P2B-DS with AIC 7890 onboard, SCSI U2W IBM, Riva TNT, Debian 2.0, linux 2.1.129 and 2.1.130) I get a reproducable oops.
message varies, is either
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx or Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address xxxxxxxx
happens in call of find, call trace is
system_call -> sys_newlstat -> __namei -> lookup_dentry -> real_lookup -> ext2_lookup -> iget
it fails in iget +48/9c, so I suspect that it could be a problem of not properly locking/unlocking (there is no spin_unlock(&inode_lock); before return get_new_inode(sb, ino, head);), but I have really no idea what the problem could be.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks,
Hans-Frieder
p.s.: I didn't include the complete screen dump of the error message here, but can send it to anyone who is interested in it.
