ok, -tip testing found an early boot crash caused by your patchset, on
64-bit x86:
[ 0.396000] calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x143
[ 0.400000] net_namespace: 944 bytes
[ 0.403578] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
[ 0.404000] IP: [<ffffffff80e05b0e>] net_ns_init+0x9f/0x143
[ 0.404000] PGD 0
[ 0.404000] Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
[ 0.404000] CPU 0
[...]
full bootlog and config can be found at:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/crashlog-Tue_Jul__1_16_48_45_CEST_2008.bad
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Tue_Jul__1_16_48_45_CEST_2008.bad
(another 64-bit testbox crashed as well, so this should be readily
reproducible.)
i've pushed this tree out to tip/tmp.core/percpu-zerobased.Jul__1_16_48
topic branch, that is the 2.6.26-rc8-tip-00250-g90874b0 kernel you can
see in the crashlog.
