This bug is in the keyring management code, not the IO scheduler.

David, you don't appear to have a bugzilla account.

This appears to be the same bug as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7727.  Can we fix it please?

Sascha, is this repeatable?  (Please respond via emailed reply-to-all)

Hi,

I'm afraid, it is repeatable. Once in a week this happens.
And when I'm trying to make a local backup (using tar -czf to an local
disk) this produces the oops too. So, I think this is somehow connected to
IO.

No, it seems not.

I'll have a look at the bug anyway.  I'm sure it's also got a Fedora BZ #, but
I can't seem to find it.

David,
Can you confirm that fix to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7727 also
applies to this bug?
Thanks,
--Natalie
