I killed a nfs umount process (because of an > offline server) shortly before the oopses started to fire.
OK. Probably, this oops would be same with one which happened on my machine recently. That path in patch corrupts dcache hash, so it can be the cause of strange behavior or oops on dcache hash.
If so, the attached patch would fix it.
Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
Recent change is missing to update "rehash". With that change, it will become the cause of adding dentry to hash twice.
This explains the reason of Oops (dereference the freed dentry in __d_lookup()) on my machine.
