I have got a crash on an 8 processor ia64 machine with the kernel 2.6.18.8:

Here is the beginning of rb_insert_color():
void rb_insert_color(struct rb_node *node, struct rb_root *root) { struct rb_node *parent, *gparent;
while ((parent = rb_parent(node)) && rb_is_red(parent)) { gparent = rb_parent(parent); if (parent == gparent->rb_left) {
When it crashes, I've got the following nodes:
p/x *((struct rb_node *) 0xe0000004acb19448) // node { rb_parent_color = 0xe0000002799a5908, rb_right = 0x0, rb_left = 0x0 } p/x *((struct rb_node *) 0xe0000002799a5908) // parent = rb_parent(node) { rb_parent_color = 0x0, rb_right = 0x0, rb_left = 0xa000000100650000 // seems to be valid }
Note that "node" is not necessarily the same as the argument of rb_insert_color() was.
gparent = rb_parent(parent) is NULL, and the kernel obviously traps at if (parent == gparent->rb_left).
Does the algorithm guarantee that if a node is red, it must have a parent? I guess yes. (I have not seen any modification in rb_insert_color() since my 2.6.18.8.)
Is mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex) in vfs_readdir() enough to protect the tree? I guess yes.
I have got no idea how it can happen. Has something been corrected since?
