Oops in swap code

Oops in swap code

[Stephen C. Tweedie]

Hi,

Just saw this from a Red Hat beta (wolverine) user: ring any bells?

It's a kernel BUG() in activate_page_nolock():

/*
 * Move an inactive page to the active list.
 */
void activate_page_nolock(struct page * page)
{
	if (PageInactiveDirty(page)) {
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
		del_page_from_inactive_dirty_list(page);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
		add_page_to_active_list(page);
	} else if (PageInactiveClean(page)) {
		del_page_from_inactive_clean_list(page);
		add_page_to_active_list(page)d_page+0/4096]

This seems to be reproducible.
