Re: 2.5.70 kernel BUG include/linux/dcache.h:271!

[Lou Langholtz <ldl@aros.net>]

Maybe related? I've also run into this BUG output but from a very 
different path... the following 2.5.70 kernel output was the result of 
running rmmod (from the new rusty init tools package) for the nbd module 
that I've been hacking on (with additional printk output as seen). It 
may well be the hacks I've done to nbd are wrong (hopefully that's the 
case), but note the ref counts marked "q.e.ref#" which is from 
disk->queue->elevator.kobj.refcount for each "disk". Negative values 
seem really wrong in this case and don't seem likely the fault of my 
hacks but rather a bug in the elevator and/or block handling code.

Please CC me in reply, I am not subscribed to lkml either.

Thanks!!
