SubjectRepeated oopses with inode == 0xffffffff in 2.6.23
What does it mean when a pointer to an inode has a value of -1?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334181


/usr/src/debug/kernel-2.6.22/linux-2.6.22.x86_64/block/ll_rw_blk.c:3139
ffffffff8110854e: 48 8b 45 10 mov 0x10(%rbp),%rax
ffffffff81108552: 48 8b 40 08 mov 0x8(%rax),%rax
ffffffff81108556: 48 8b 40 68 mov 0x68(%rax),%rax

maxsector = bio->bi_bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9;

bd_inode == -1

-----------

rw_verify_area+0x24/0x7e

inode == -1 again


------- Additional Comments From cebbert@redhat.com 2007-11-14 18:39 EST -------
fs/dnotify.c:46:

inode = filp->f_path.dentry->d_inode;
===> if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))
return;

inode is -1 again
