Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 11266] New: unable to handle kernel paging request in ext2_free_blocks

interface.]

I now have found an ext3 filesystem for which this bug happens pretty
reproducibly on 2.6.27.4. Increasing commit interval seems to help it happen,
otherwise the journal can be aborted and then the bug no longer happens. I do
realize that this report is for the ext2 bug, but I hope finding a similar bug
on ext3 might help (and even if this is a separate bug, this information should
help resolve it).

Here's how to do it:

1. bunzip2 the attached filesystem image hdb.10000097.bz2

(I did the following inside qemu, hence /dev/hdb)

2. mount /dev/hdb /mnt -t ext3 -o errors=continue,commit=300
3. cd /mnt
4. timeout 30 cp -r doc doc2 >&/dev/null (or manually break cp after 30
seconds, it's jammed anyway)
6. find -xdev -print0 2>/dev/null |xargs -0 touch -- 2>/dev/null
7. mkdir tmp >&/dev/null
8. echo whoah >tmp/filu 2>/dev/null
9. rm -rf /mnt/* >&/dev/null
10. while completing rm -rf, the following oops occurs:
