--- Comment #6 from Markus K=C3=B6nigshaus <m.koenigshaus@wut.de> ---

I think I have found the error. The kernel calls apparently for the sam=
e page
dec_zone_page_state on (page, NR_FILE_DIRTY) twice, which means that th=
e dirty
page counter underflows (is getting negative):=20

The writeback - mechanism thinks that too much pages are dirty and disa=
bles the
writeback - cache.

Who can I send this bug?
