I got an oops with the following backtrace:

=====================================================================
I am running a flavor of 2.6.10 and am not really in a position to
upgrade to a newer version. I assume this is happening when fa is
getting de-referenced in the for loop. So, I assume the fasync reader
list has gotten corrupted somehow:
/*
* fasync_helper() is used by some character device drivers (mainly
mice)
* to set up the fasync queue. It returns negative on error, 0 if it did
* no changes and positive if it added/deleted the entry.
*/
int fasync_helper(int fd, struct file * filp, int on, struct
fasync_struct **fapp)
{
struct fasync_struct *fa, **fp;
struct fasync_struct *new = NULL;
int result = 0;
if (on) {
new = kmem_cache_alloc(fasync_cache, SLAB_KERNEL);
if (!new)
return -ENOMEM;
}
write_lock_irq(&fasync_lock);
for (fp = fapp; (fa = *fp) != NULL; fp = &fa->fa_next) {
if (fa->fa_file == filp) {
if(on) {
fa->fa_fd = fd;
kmem_cache_free(fasync_cache, new);
} else {
*fp = fa->fa_next;
kmem_cache_free(fasync_cache, fa);
result = 1;
}
goto out;
}
}
if (on) {
new->magic = FASYNC_MAGIC;
new->fa_file = filp;
new->fa_fd = fd;
new->fa_next = *fapp;
*fapp = new;
result = 1;
}
out:
write_unlock_irq(&fasync_lock);
return result;
}
The variable "on" is zero when this gets called and fd is -1.
Anyone seen anything like this when trying to close down a pipe ?
Thanks
