[OOPS] Reiserfs corruption causing oops in VFS code? (Kernel 2.4.16)

["Troels Walsted Hansen" <troels@thule.no>]

This bug may have been fixed already, but I thought the kernel version
was sufficiently recent to report the oops anyway.

The kernel version is kernel-2.4.16.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, I don't know
if that RPM includes any reiserfs patches, I can check on request. dmesg
reports "ReiserFS version 3.6.25".

I have two partitions, / and /home, both reiserfs on IDE hardware. The
machine had been running this kernel for about two months under light
load, prior to this oops. I recently started running a Squid cache on
the machine, I suppose that has placed the filesystem under additional
strain. The machine was idle except for IMAPD access when the oops
occured.

These messages came immediatedly before the oops:

Mar 12 10:46:01 shogun kernel: is_leaf: item location seems wrong
(second one): *OLD*[93946 93947 1436783232(0) DIR], item_len 3904,
item_location 64, free_space(entry_count) 63
Mar 12 10:46:01 shogun kernel: vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format
found in block 41204. Fsck?

Here is the oops, as decoded by ksymoops:

ksymoops 2.4.3 on i586 2.4.16.1mdk-1-1mdk.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.16.1mdk-1-1mdk/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.16.1mdk-1-1mdk (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

Warning (compare_ksyms_lsmod): module reiserfs is in lsmod but not in
ksyms, probably no symbols exported
Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on symbol partition_name  , ksyms_base
says c01bfcc0, System.map says c0152d30.  Ignoring ksyms_base entry

Reiserfs appeared to recover just fine after a reboot:

Haven't tried fsck yet..
