Probably this BUG_ON() was wrong. Does this bug occur only by the specific file? If so, please do "filefrag -v filename" against that file. Then, can you try the attached patch? This patch removes the BUG_ON(), and instead adds printk() for debugging. When the bug occured, it prints the current cache. Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi
