Re: 3.0-rcX BUG at fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:432 - bisected

Excerpts from Jim Schutt's message of 2011-06-10 13:06:22 -0400:

[ two different btrfs crashes ]

I think your two crashes in btrfs were from the uninit variables and
those should be fixed in rc2.

Looking at the resulting code in the oops, we're here in journal_start:

        if (handle) {
                J_ASSERT(handle->h_transaction->t_journal == journal);

handle comes from current->journal_info, and we're doing a deref on
handle->h_transaction, which is probably 0xa.

So, we're leaving crud in current->journal_info and ext3 is finding it.

Perhaps its from ceph starting a transaction but leaving it running?
The bug came with Josef's transaction performance fixes, but it is
probably a mixture of his code with the ioctls ceph is using.

[ rest of the oops below for context ]
