Subject3.1-rc10 oops in nameidata_to_filp
This morning, I found the following on my laptop.  I hope the kernel
version is recent enough to be useful; the only change between then and
current 3.2-rc2 I noticed is an NFS lease fix, and the machine has no
NFS exports or mounts active.

The laptop is a core 2 duo, running a 32-bit kernel with 2 GB of RAM.
Uptime is 26 days, although obviously it's been asleep for a lot of that.

Non-ECC RAM; it *could* be just a random bit flip, but I'm sending
this out into the world in case it's illuniating to someone with
a deeper understanding of the relevant data structures.

It's running a copy of John Linville's wireless development tree,
but the changes there should not affect core file system activity like
this. (They're mostly in drivers/net/wireless and net/wireless,
touching *nothing* in fs/ or other core kernel code.)

The exact kernel I'm running is:

> commit 137d0943ea2cbcdbfc38606944fc0b6494f7c935
> Merge: dfd5c52 899e3ee
> Author: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
> Date: Tue Oct 18 10:52:19 2011 -0400
>
> Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torva

899e3ee is v3.1-rc10. The commit is available at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commit;h=137d0943ea2cbcdbfc38606944fc0b6494f7c935

Local file sytsems are all ext3 or tmpfs. Although I have mounted NFS
file systems since reboot, they were all unmounted days before the oops.

The machine is still up. I plan on upgrading the kernel and
rebooting unless someone would like some specific testing.
