Hi,

Jan 17 23:31:42 kangur [4312977.009000] <6>note: cc1[2054] exited with
preempt_count 1
after about half an hour of compiling 4.1.0_beta20060113 (from Gentoo)
with all compilation files at tmpfs.
It does not look like it is easily reproductible and takes long time so I
don't know if I will be able to reproduce it again in any sane time. But
maybe somebody who knows mm better than me will be able to do something
with this or will be able to say - "Hey it is fixed already in ...".
This is on kernel 2.6.15-rc6-git4-ck1 (so ck list in CC but I am not
saying that -ck is responsible - there are some patches like swap prefetch
in it so maybe...?) on Athlon XP 2000MHz machine with 1GB of RAM and 4GB
of SWAP (in file on ext3 partition). I am rather sure that the hardware is
100% ok because it was build 5 weeks ago and tested with memtest and prime
for hours. Also there were no such problems with this kernel. Of course
(it is Gentoo) whole system was compiled from source (with all compilation
files on this tmpfs). So I don't know what could cause this.
In case somebody wonders what this line looks like in my kernel, here it
is:
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page));
BUG_ON(page_mapped(page));
mapping = page->mapping;
index = page->index;
inode = mapping->host;
info = SHMEM_I(inode);
if (info->flags & VM_LOCKED)
goto redirty;
swap = get_swap_page();
if (!swap.val)
goto redirty;
spin_lock(&info->lock);
shmem_recalc_inode(inode);
if (index >= info->next_index) {
BUG_ON(!(info->flags & SHMEM_TRUNCATE));
goto unlock;
}
entry = shmem_swp_entry(info, index, NULL);
BUG_ON(!entry);
THIS LINE =>=>=> BUG_ON(entry->val);
if (move_to_swap_cache(page, swap) == 0) {
shmem_swp_set(info, entry, swap.val);
shmem_swp_unmap(entry);
spin_unlock(&info->lock);
if (list_empty(&info->swaplist)) {
spin_lock(&shmem_swaplist_lock);
/* move instead of add in case we're racing */
list_move_tail(&info->swaplist, &shmem_swaplist);
spin_unlock(&shmem_swaplist_lock);
}
unlock_page(page);
return 0;
}
shmem_swp_unmap(entry);
Thanks in advance,
Grzegorz Kulewski
