Having applied a few board specific patches on top of
Linus' tree (around 2.6.28-git8)
run into the following.

Anyone have an ideas or seeing anything similar?

Works fine on 2.6.28 so git bisection underway, but
will take a while given speed of flashing this device
(intelmote 2)

Yes, I think the same thing just happened on my avr32 board
(ATSTK1006)...see below.

Please let me know the result, or if you need any help.

Hi All, 

Results of git bisection are in.  The patch highlighted as
causing the problem is:

d84f4f992cbd76e8f39c488cf0c5d123843923b1 is first bad commit                              
commit d84f4f992cbd76e8f39c488cf0c5d123843923b1                                           
Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>                                               
Date:   Fri Nov 14 10:39:23 2008 +1100                                                    

    CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials
                                    
( lots of info ).

So now for the remaining question of why?

The setup I'm using is now in Linus' tree anyway
(intelmote2 see arm/mach-pxa/imote2.c)

Got to run in a mo, so thought I'd post my progress on 
working out what is happening.

For some reason, when set_dumpable is run in commit_creds
(cred.c) task->mm is null.  Don't know my way around
this bit of the kernel, but guessing that isn't good!

Not sure I'm making much progress on this problem.
My guess is that the set_dumpable shouldn't actually
be running.  The reason it is is that the gc task
appears to have the CAP_SETPCAP capability and the 
init task does not.  Any hints as to what should be happening
here would be appreciated.
