Subject[Bug 739] New: Null pointer dereference in ext3_test_allocatable

Summary: Null pointer dereference in ext3_test_allocatable
Kernel Version: 2.5.69-mm8
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: akpm@digeo.com
Submitter: plars@austin.ibm.com


Distribution: RH7.3
Hardware Environment: 8-way PIII-700, 16 GB ram

Software Environment:
anticipatory scheduler, ext3, preempt enabled

Problem Description:
While I was trying to reproduce bug 738, I got this but I believe it is
sufficiently different enough to call it a new bug. Apologies in advance if I'm
wrong on that. I was also able to produce this one earlier today when I was
compiling LTP but was unsuccessful upon trying it again. I didn't have the
serial console setup during the LTP compile when I produced this bug the first
time so I missed the output that time, but I recognize the Null pointer and the
EIP from before.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010
printing eip:
c0197db3
*pde = 35b80001
Oops: 0000 [#1]
CPU: 3
EIP: 0060:[<c0197db3>] Not tainted VLI

Steps to reproduce:
from a current CVS of LTP (today is 5/22/2003):
run ftest07 in one session
while waiting for that to complete (it takes a while)
I ran these:
aio01 -n100000
aio01 -c10 -n10000

Both completed successfully but when ftest07 finished it had the output above.
