Difference is that kzalloc(0, ) now returns NULL.  Maybe it is a
SLUB/SLAB difference? (So maybe it did use memory it shouldn't have
before, but now it fails, which is the better behaviour).

This patch fixes the maths and should probably go in various 'stable'
kernels.  Bug is in 2.6.18, but not 2.6.16.

Patch won't work for 2.6.18 as DIV_ROUND_UP is missing, but 2.6.19 and
later have it.

Thanks for the bug report.

Fix calculation for size of filemap_attr array in md/bitmap.

If 'num_pages' were ever 1 more than a multiple of 8 (32bit platforms)
for of 16 (64 bit platforms). filemap_attr would be allocated one
'unsigned long' shorter than required.  We need a round-up in there.

Is this the dmesg from boot or the dmesg after running the mdadm --run command?

OK.  I assume that bitmap->chunks in bitmap_init_from_disk() has some
unexpectedly large value.

I don't _think_ there's anything in -mm which would have triggered this.
Does mainline do the same thing?

I guess it's possible that the code in git-md-accel.patch accidentally
broke things.  Perhaps try disabling CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE?



git-md-accel.patch does not touch anything in the raid1 path, but I
guess stranger things have happened.

Linux tornado 2.6.21-rc5-mm4 #1 SMP Thu Apr 5 23:47:42 EST 2007 x86_64 Intel(R)

tornado ~ #

The last known version that worked was 2.6.21-rc3-mm1 - I haven't been testing 
out the -mm releases so much lately.


Also, Andrew, can you please restart posting/cc'ing your -mm announcements to 
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list?  Seems this stopped around about 
2.6.20, it was handy.


.config is up at http://www.reub.net/files/kernel/configs/2.6.21-rc5-mm4

Thanks,
Reuben
