mm/rmap.c bug(?) in the 2.6.12 kernel

[Balazs Csak <bcsak@cfa.harvard.edu>]

Good morning,




I've got an oops on a dual Opteron machine that's running on 2.6.12.3
kernel. Under heavy load the system hangs and we get this oops on the
screen:



...

<ffffffff8013477d>{printk+141} <ffffffff8012db83>{try_to_wake_up+915}
<ffffffff8010e445>{error_exit+0} <ffffffff80170ec6>{page_remove_rmap+38}

CR2: 0000000000000040
 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!





This problem has been described here, earlier:

http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/May/6369.html




Our setup is: 2x Opteron 246, Tyan Thunder K8S MB, 3ware 9500-8,
4 G RAM, Fedora Core 3 x86_64, 2.6.12.3 kernel.



Memtest shows nothing special...


Does anyone know something useful for this problem?




Thanks in advance,


Balazs
