Subject: request help in analyze this kdb data on 2.6.20-17.39 kernel
To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org



I have a Ubuntu 7.4 system (2.6.20-17.39 kernel). The processor is a
dual-core T7300 and 4GB memory. The kernel has kdb patched to it.
After the device was rebooted, it entered the kdb  prompt because of
NULL pointer access in kernel space. So that's good -- it's what I
expected.

One problem confusing me is the inconsistent stack traces from "bt"
command and "dmesg" command. They should be showing the same stack
trace, if I understand them correctly.

Another question is that I do not see the function "shrink_all_memory"
was invoked from "filp_close". Could that function "shrink_all_memory"
come from kdb?

not quite experienced with kdb on linux... So will appreciate your
feedback if any.

Frank
