I just got a reproduction of the kernel oops with 2.6.33-rc4, whose
original report can be seen at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14656.

I'm seeing this problem while I'm stressing a FUSE file system which
is sitting on top of ReiserFS 3. However, since some write operations
in this test-case also operate in the root filesystem I cannot tell if
FUSE has anything to do with this. Based on the stack trace I would
say no.

I have one complete message which shows the complete stack trace,
found below, and another partial one which includes some debugging
messages from CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y. The very line which is causing the
problem is a list_del() in __rmqueue:

(gdb) list *__rmqueue+0x98
0x963 is in __rmqueue (mm/page_alloc.c:730).
725                             continue;
726
727                     page = list_entry(area->free_list[migratetype].next,
728                                                             struct
page, lru);
729                     list_del(&page->lru);
730                     rmv_page_order(page);

"page" is a valid pointer, but it looks like the members of lru are
corrupted, as seen in the first trace below:

Do you have any suggestions on things that I should try? The last
kernel version that I used which works just fine is 2.6.27.4, which is
a bit old to look for possible regressions.

Thanks,
Lucas
