Hi Martin,
I would guess it's a problem with a stray pointer corrupting a buffer, just as
there are sporadic reports of dentry list trashing. As long as we continue to
get occasional oops reports with wild pointers, we can't rule out the possibity
of the pointer hitting kernel memory and causing silent corruption problems.
I wish there were a way to track down this sort of problem in a systematic way,
other than just hoping that continued code review and improvement will catch the
error.
Regards,
Bill
