Message-ID: <20070424130601.4ab89d54.akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)

An amd64 machine is crashing badly.

http://test.kernel.org/abat/84767/debug/console.log

VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 308k freed
INIT: version 2.86 booting
Bad page state in process 'init'
page:ffff81007e492628 flags:0x0100000000000000 mapping:0000000000000000 mapcount:0 count:1
Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed
Backtrace:

So free_pgd_range() is freeing a refcount=1 page.  Can anyone see what
might be causing this?  The quicklist code impacts this area more than
anything else..

Naturally, I can't reproduce it (no amd64 boxen).  A bisection search would
be wonderful.
