Hello.
I've built a kernel from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
(Date: Fri Nov 19 19:46:45 2010 -0800)
and got a kernel oops when tried to access to unplugged,
but mounted external usb storage formatted with JFS.
Steps to reproduce:
mkfs.jfs /dev/sdb1 (unpluggable USB hard drive)
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/drive
cd /mnt/drive
touch test
sync
..unplug a drive
ls
Result:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000020
IP: __mark_inode_dirty
Then I got a kernel coredump. Here is a stack trace:
(gdb) bt

I can't do git bisect because on n'th step my system became
unbootable. But 2.6.35 doesn't fall.
