BUG at kernel/timer.c:1100 when using JFFS2

[Nathan Williams]

Hi,

I've come across a problem when loading a module straight after unmounting a JFFS2 partition.
I'm using a Geos ADSL router board with an AMD Geode LX/CS5536 chipset and a Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR NAND flash.

I can reproduce my problem with this shell script:

#!/bin/sh
mount -t jffs2 mtd:logs /mnt
echo "Hello World" > /mnt/file
umount /mnt
modprobe r8169

After a few seconds I get this panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Any ideas on what I should do next?

You probably use 3.5? There was a bug which was fixed, try the latest
stable 3.5 version, the fix must be there.

No I'm using 3.6.  Do you know what the patch was so I can look it up?

Ok I'll try 3.6.7.  "JFFS2: fix unmount regression" seems to be your
patch.  Thanks for your help.
