Hi Dan,

thank you so much for answering my email in such detail !

I shall pick up on that mail in my next email sending to the mailing list :)


currently I've got a problem with btrfs which seems to get triggered
by cleancache get-operations:

in my case I had compress-force with lzo and disk_cache enabled


another user of the kernel I'm currently running has had the same
problem with zcache
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6571799.html#6571799)

(looks like in his case compression and any other fancy additional
features weren't enabled)


changes made by this kernel or patchset to btrfs are from
* io-less dirty throttling patchset (44 patches)
* zcache V2 ("[PATCH] staging: zcache: fix memory leak" should be
applied in both cases)
* PATCH] fix (latent?) memory corruption in btrfs_encode_fh()
* btrfs-unstable changes to state of
3a90983dbdcb2f4f48c0d771d8e5b4d88f27fae6 (so practically equals btrfs
from 2.6.38-rc4+)

I haven't tried downgrading to vanilla 2.6.37 with zcache only, yet,

but kind of upgraded btrfs to the latest state of the btrfs-unstable
repository (http://git.eu.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git;a=summary)
namely 3a90983dbdcb2f4f48c0d771d8e5b4d88f27fae6

this also didn't help and seemed to produce the same error-message

so to summarize:

1) error message appearing with all 4 patchsets applied changing
btrfs-code and compress-force=lzo and disk_cache enabled

2) error message appearing with default mount-options and btrfs from
2.6.37 and changes for zcache & io-less dirty throttling patchset
applied (first 2 patch(sets)) from list)


in my case I tried to extract / play back a 1.7 GiB tarball of my
portage-directory (lots of small files and some tar.bzip2 archives)
via pbzip2 or 7z when the error happened and the message was shown

Due to KMS sound (webradio streaming) was still running but I couldn't
continue work (X switching to kernel output) so I did the magic sysrq
combo (reisub)


Does that BUG message ring a bell for anyone ?

(if I should leave out anyone from the CC in the next emails or
future, please holler - I don't want to spam your inboxes)

Thanks

Matt
