I have also had a report of this on a very recent SLES9 updates
kernel, from looking through the patches the SUSE folks have and
those in the -mm, the invalidate_inode_pages2 patch is in both
so it could be the cause, but thats just a guess so far (patch
name in -mm is invalidate_inode_pages-mmap-coherency-fix.patch).

I don't have a reproducible test case yet either.

cheers.
