BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

I was unable to capture the full OOPS/panic message as it was a full panic.
The kernel switched to a vt first so I could at least take a picture, which
I've attached.

This is with 2.6.37.2. A brief snippet from the image is as follows:

IP: [<ffffffff8110f3a7>] __mark_inode_dirty+0xca/0x1ac
PGD 9fe96067 PUD 30e34067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
...
Call Trace:
? touch_atime+0x111/0x13a
? filldir+0x0/0xc3
? vfs_readdir+0x84/0xaa
? sys_getdents+0x7d/0xcd
? page_fault+0x25/0x30
? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This has only happened once so far, and a little while before this OOPS
happened, X crashed and was restarted.
