Hi Peter and Thomas,

LKP found a bug, and it was bisected to my rewrite patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1818393/

But I really don't have a clue about why the patch can introduce
such a bug, as the patch does not modify anything related. Or maybe
the bug could be indirectly triggerd, just don't know how.

To confirm it is not a false positive, we are rebasing the patch to
3.18-rc3 to try to reproduce it, it is now ongoing.

In addition, I noticed this thread about the same symptom:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1819348.

Thomas should already have a fix to this. Right?

Thanks,
Yuyang
