Subject: Kernel oops when accessing to mounted, but unplugged JFS
Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2010 14:20:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101121122008.GE4024@localhost> (raw)

Hello.
I've built a kernel from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
(Date:   Fri Nov 19 19:46:45 2010 -0800)
and got a kernel oops when tried to access to unplugged,
but mounted external usb storage formatted with JFS.
 
Steps to reproduce:
 mkfs.jfs /dev/sdb1 (unpluggable USB hard drive)
 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive
 cd /mnt/drive
 touch test
 sync
 ..unplug a drive
 ls
  

Result:
   BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
   0000000000000020
   IP: __mark_inode_dirty

Then I got a kernel coredump. Here is a stack trace:

(gdb) bt

(gdb) p bdi
$1 = (struct backing_dev_info *) 0x0

(gdb) p inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info 
$15 = (struct backing_dev_info *) 0xffff880078878d48

(gdb) p inode->i_sb->s_bdi
$16 = (struct backing_dev_info *) 0x0


I can't do git bisect because on n'th step my system became unbootable. 
But 2.6.35 doesn't fall.
