BUG: at fs/nfs/pagelist.c:339 nfs_scan_dirty()

Hi,

I just upgraded from 2.6.13.4 to 2.6.20 on a Pentium M, and on booting off an NFS root encountered the following bug somewhere after loading the w83627hf module and before ohci1394:

 =======================

So far the machine appears stable other than this - but after having had a year or so of perfect uptime on the box under 2.6.13.4 with no such kernel errors, I thought you might like to know in case this indicates something more serious.

The kernel options given to boot off NFS were...

root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.x:/home/stb,v3,hard,intr,nolock,retrans=6,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 ip=dhcp

...and the full dmesg, kernel config, lspci and lsmod output may be found at http://www.arasphere.net/linux/nfs-bug. The NFS server is running the default NFS v3 options on 2.6.20 on Core 2 Duo. No patches have been applied to either kernel.

Any advice on whether I should be worried by this, whether it indicates that something significant is wrong, and how I might help debug it would be appreciated.

thanks.

Matthew.
