Subject: 3.4-rc7: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88040b56f800 idx:1 val:-59

Hi Andrew,
  while shutting down my laptop (Dell Vostro 3550 with 16GB RAM, core i7) with 3.4-rc7 I got:

May 23 00:07:54 vostro kernel: [352687.968267] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88040b56f800 idx:1 val:-59
May 23 00:07:54 vostro kernel: [352687.968312] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88040b56f800 idx:2 val:59
May 23 00:07:55 vostro acpid: exiting
May 23 00:07:55 vostro syslog-ng[2838]: syslog-ng shutting down; version='3.3.4'

  I found by Google the below thread and thought that maybe it is related?
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/76459

  Please forward this to the right person and Cc: me if I should provide more details (some lines form dmesg?).
I am a plain user and it is time to sleep here.

Actually, searching /var/log/messages backwards gives me few more hits on previous shutdowns:

My older logs show it appeared first in 3.4.0-rc6. Or is it that because I changed my .config
at that time? Can't say at the moment. What type of config variable should I look for?

Best regards,
Martin
