Subject: 2.6.34-rc3: simple du (on a big xfs tree) triggers oom killer

[Sorry for the cross post, but I don't know where to start to tackle this 
 issue]

Hi,

on an attempt to get to a current kernel, I suffer from an issue, where a 
simple du on a reasonably big xfs tree leads to invoking the oom killer: 

Apr  4 23:24:53 tyrex kernel: [  418.913223] XFS mounting filesystem sdd1

The oom-killer got triggered around the line with 308011 context switches.
Needless to say, this event renders this system dysfunctional.

Sorry for the insanely long lines, but wrapping them to a sane width results 
in an unparseable mess. This kernel is closest to upstream, that I was able
to produce, built in Novell build service, available here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/kernel-head/openSUSE_11.1/
As you can see, userspace is openSUSE 11.1, arch is i586, based on vanilla 
built of rc3 with Linus' git tree applied up to 5e11611a5d22252f3f9c169a3c9377eac0c32033.
I have reproduced this issue also with 2.6.33.1. Usually, I run the openSUSE 
customized kernels, e.g. kernel-pae-2.6.27.45-0.1.1 doesn't show this issue.

boot.msg: ftp://urpla.net/boot.msg
config: ftp://urpla.net/vanilla

I do use some unusual vm settings, as documented in boot.msg, but that should 
not result in this issue, does it?

Hardware: Xeon X3460, Asus P7F-E motherboard, Intel 3420 PCH chipset, 12 GB Mem

In case, you wonder, why I drove that test with a 4GB memory setup: that was
the easiest way to demonstrate the problem without resorting to tainted and 
heavy customized kernels. And for compatibility reasons (customer support), 
I have to stay at i586 for the moment. 

Of course, the du command does succeed with the distributed kernel with exactly
the same (userspace and sysctl) settings: 
1,1T    /backup/daily.0
