Kernel Bug in Journal.c

[Wolfpaw - Dale Corse]

Greetings,

 We are getting this error using 2.4.23 on reiserfs, with the
reiser quota patches, and grsecurity patches. I have no idea
what it is :(

kernel BUG at journal.c:869!

It also causes kupdated to go defunct, and we lose the ability to use
sync,
or unmount a filesystem. (Reboot must be done with the reset switch
:()

If anyone has any ideas, please drop me a line. I am not subscribed,

Thanks in advance for your time,
Dale.

The offending block of code is:

static int flush_commit_list(struct super_block *s, struct
reiserfs_journal_list *jl, int flushall) {
  int i, count ;
  int bn ;
  int retry_count = 0 ;
  int orig_commit_left = 0 ;
  struct buffer_head *tbh = NULL ;
  unsigned long trans_id = jl->j_trans_id;

  reiserfs_check_lock_depth("flush_commit_list") ;

  if (atomic_read(&jl->j_older_commits_done)) {
    if (!list_empty(&jl->j_ordered_bh_list))
        BUG();
    if (!list_empty(&jl->j_tail_bh_list))
        BUG();
    return 0 ;
  }

  /* before we can put our commit blocks on disk, we have to make sure
everyone older than
  ** us is on disk too
  */
  if (jl->j_len <= 0) {
-->  BUG();
    return 0 ;
  }
  if (trans_id == SB_JOURNAL(s)->j_trans_id)
      BUG();

  get_journal_list(jl);

  /* write any buffers that must hit disk before the commit is done */
  write_ordered_buffers(&jl->j_ordered_bh_list, &jl->j_wait_bh_list);

  if (flushall) {
    if (flush_older_commits(s, jl) == 1) {
        /* list disappeared during flush_older_commits.  return */
        goto put_jl;
    }
  }
