  Yes I see some correlation. Again it seems there is a problem with buffers
attached to a page which got truncated but Private flag of the page stayed.
It's probably not important but just out of curiosity - do you have
CONFIG_LBD (large block device) set? I'd just like to verify that page_bufs
was NULL when it was passed to walk_page_buffers().
  You said 2.6.17 worked for you, didn't you? How long does it take to
reproduce the problem? If it is reasonably easy (e.g. a few hours), could
you trace back when the problem started happening? If you could narrow that
problem down to a single patch (using git-bisect), that would be great.
