Subject: Bad page state with x86_64

Hi,

the following problem occurs with a driver "pa_drv" written by myself  
under x84_64. Code works fine under x86_32 and with small modifications  
also under ppc. Problem also occurs under 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.


Bad page state in process 'pa_test'

mapcount:0 count:0
Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

I've a stripped down example, which reproduces the problem shown below.  
I'll happily sent an archive containing, code of driver, library and test  
application to anybody, who likes to spend a look at it or attach it to a  
mail to this list, if I'm allowed to do so.

Note: I'm not blaming the kernel to be buggy. It may well be, that the  
source of the problem sits between my keyboard and my chair, but I'd be  
very grateful for any advice on what I'm doing wrong, if so.

Best regards,
Andreas
