2.6.9-5.0.5 Oops at journal_commit_transaction

[Leroy van Logchem <leroy.vanlogchem@gmail.com>]

Hi list, thanks for reading my post :)

Background:
After running pre-production file servers for two days we have a
hanging system with a oops related to journal_commit_transaction. It
was hosting nfs v3 exports to about 50 clients and a few smbd
processes. All filesystems are using ext3 with v2 journals
data=ordered mode.

Symptoms:
kernel oops related to ext3 journal commits, can't use the system anymore

Hardware setup:
19" 1U Supermicro 6018-P8 Dual Xeon, 1 GB ram
Three 2U external scsi subsystems U160 connected to the AIC-7902B

Distribution vendor and version:
RedHat Enterprise Linux v4 (updated to 2.6.9-5.0.5)

Research so far:
I found similar reports on various lists but I don't know if it's the
same problem

Can someone please tell me if I should apply Stephen Tweedie patch? or
is this something different?
