OK. In your second oops trace the `swapper' process had used 5k of its 8k kernel stack processing an XFS IO completion interrupt. And I don't think `swapper' uses much stack of its own.
If some other process happens to be using 3k of stack when the same interrupt hits it, it's game over.
So at a guess, I'd say you're being hit by excessive stack use in the XFS filesystem. I think the XFS team have done some work on that recently so an upgrade may help.
Or it may be something completely different ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
