Hello,
I have a 2.6.27.29-4-grsec (from http://kernelsec.cr0.org) Linux box, on
x86, running debian lenny. On sunday, during the monthly rebuild of my
standard RAID1 setup (/proc/mdstat):

Personalities : [raid1]
md127 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
      488383936 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

The kernel started outputting thousands of backtraces (see attached log)
The IO throughput was drastically reduced but the resync finally
completed after about 38 hours.

This is the first time I have been bitten by this bug. The server has
been running on this kernel for 74 days and the previous resync didn't
exhibit any problem.

Unfortunately, the machine being used in production, I will probably not
be able to test possible fixes easily.

Regards,
Raphaël
