corruption

I did again a large test comparing two identical trees.
Found again corruption, and, upon inspection, the disk
files did not differ - this is in-core corruption only.

A few days ago:

diff -r /c2/linux/linux-2.4.0-test10/linux/include/asm-sparc/ecc.h /g1/linux/li\
nux-2.4.0-test10/linux/include/asm-sparc/ecc.h

< #define ECC_FADDR0_PADDR 0x0000000f

>       }
>     return 0;

Here the corruption starts precisely 3072 bytes into the file (which lives on a filesystem with 1024-byte blocks).

But the tail is a fragment of drivers/isdn/isdn_bsdcomp.c starting at an offset of 7168 bytes.

The former lives on blocks 6373895 6373896 6373897 6373898 6373899, the other on blocks 2475568...2475579,2475616...2475628.

Today:

diff -r /g1/linux/linux-2.4.0-test11vanilla/linux/net/sched/sch_cbq.c /c2/linux\ /linux-2.4.0-test11vanilla/linux/net/sched/sch_cbq.c 2000c2000,2115 < cbq_destr\201XM^@\202XM^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@...

(lots of nulls)

with corruption starting at an offset of 47104=46*1024 bytes. Don't know where the corruption part is from.
