           Summary: Ext4 NULL pointer reference in mb_cache function

lspci for hardware details.

How bug was caused?

I did run apt-get upgrade in background while starting up firefox and pidgin.
Now there went something wrong in ext4. So I don't know exactly how to
reproduce this.

Reproducing?

Only once just a few minutes ago.

Version where this was seen?

Vanilla kernel v2.6.31-rc7 just a commit before tagging rc8 with a via agp
driver bug patch.

User land is Ubuntu Karmic.

Disk file system was upgraded from ext3 partition.

Debug info?

Sorry. all was lost because file system crashed so I could write it locally or
upload anywhere. I did try to upload it using ssh but that killed my last
working console so I have to do forced shutdown.

So all you have now left is my bad memory that remembers back trace in ext4
mb_*cache*. Which then caused a lot of warnings about scheduling while atomic.

If I can reproduce this I will next time take a photo before trying anything
else.

I'm just about to upgrade to the latest code even tough list of changes don't
look like affecting this.
