I just noticed the earlier report of this issue in your list of
regressions with patches:

  File systems

  Subject    : 2.6.21-git10/11: files getting truncated on xfs
  References : http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/9/410

  Status     : patch available

I tried the patch and it solves the problem for me as well.

Maurice.

Doesn't look like a regression to me.  Doubled timeout looks like a
problem with timer.  I'll follow up on the original thread.

Not really a regression.  Alan seems to have a general fix and I think
we can also quirk the specific case.

Possible fix proposed.

I'll push the fix once Paul verifies it.

Fixed in my tree not a regression. I'll try and push some bits monday
this included.

I was traveling abroad last week, without access to my devel
environment. Hans is currently working on a definitive fix for the
issue. His schedule is to have a proper solution until next week.

For now, it is better just to revert the bad changes. I've committed a
patch on my tree for that:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git;a=commitdiff;h=15ac2d293b08b6975c6ca1a80eb839d4cb0dddbf

I'm currently running some tests on my environment with the fix patches
I currently have. I should send a pull request to Linus later today.

Alas I am lacking a machine which suspends, but I'm working on it.  If

Looks more like the IPV6 SNMP6 OOPS, I saw and fixed with:

commit 5632c5152aa621885d87ea0b8fdd5a6bb9f69c6f
Author: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sat Apr 28 21:16:39 2007 -0700

    [IPV6]: Track device renames in snmp6.
    
    When network device's are renamed, the IPV6 snmp6 code
    gets confused. It doesn't track name changes so it will OOPS
    when network device's are removed.
    
    The fix is trivial, just unregister/re-register in notify handler.

It's quite possible that this fixes it, especially since the version
in Ubuntu's bug report came out the day before your fix went in :)

However, I don't really get why it's crashing in the first place.
Without your patch, if the device is renamed the proc entry just
keeps the original name.  When it goes down it should still get
removed correctly.

Could you explain this in a bit more detail?

Thanks,
