Subject: Panic in reserve_memtype()
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:22:58 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100224202258.GA615@sgi.com> (raw)
We see an X86_64 regression that started a few days ago. The kernel is booted
via EFI & panics in the pat.c code trying to deref a NULL pointer.
I didn't debug the problem but am suspicious of
x86, pat: Migrate to rbtree only backend for pat memtype management x86/pat

Has anyone seen this? If not, I can debug further....
Problem is in the git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git tree.
