Subject: Re: 2.6.24-rc8-mm1: powerpc oopses

Hello,

        The script below kills powerpc. oopses get longer and more
wonderful with every next 'cated' file.

/proc/<pid>/task/<pid>/pagemap seems to be the cause of oops. The
important thing is that it oopses for random (that is not first in a row)
process from /proc. So not every 'cat /proc/<pid>/task/<pid>/pagemap'
causes an oops.

I could try to bisect this but this powerpc box is iMac G3 (cpu at 400MHz)
and this will take time. So any hints appreciated.

Regards,

	Mariusz

script:
---------
#!/bin/bash

for i in `find /proc/*/ -readable -type f`; do
        echo -n "cat $i > /dev/null ... ";
        logger -t proc_loop $i;
        sync;
        cat $i > /dev/null;
        echo "done";
done
