Fw: Re: [2.6.27] filesystem (ext3) corruption (access beyond end)

[Folkert van Heusden <folkert@vanheusden.com>]

Ok I ran several disk-intensive jobs (git clone, kernel build, apt-get dist-upgrade)
but none of those could trigger any bugs.
BUT, running my http://vanheusden.com/pyk/ script, I definately can trigger the
problem:
[85202.195563] rtc0: alarms up to one month, y3k, hpet irqs
[85204.035802] journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 2060 on dm-0

[86331.285847] EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #24568: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=4098364138, rec_len=59542, name_len=76
[89931.353863] EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #24568: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=4098364138, rec_len=59542, name_len=76

[92499.263515] EXT3-fs error (device dm-2): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
[92499.263543] Remounting filesystem read-only

[93531.419902] EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): htree_dirblock_to_tree: bad entry in directory #24568: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=4098364138, rec_len=59542, name_len=76

Very odd since the script only rmmod/insmods modules and trying to
rmmod for example ext3-module shouldn';t be a problem since it is
in use.
