2.6.30 oops while copying 8GB file over network (sftp)

Hi,

Found regression from 2.6.29.x - while copying big file 8GB over network - got oops (attached). Plain x86 kernel, running Acer Ferrari 1100 laptop, compiled latest stable gcc/binutils, distro is slackware-current. ext4 filesystem. Can supply any additional info if needed.

TIA

I thought this was fixed by f06dd16a03f6f7f72fab4db03be36e28c28c6fd6

I'm taking a look at it now.

Duh, that patch does fix it, but it isn't fixed in 2.6.30 like you reported.  I'll talk to mimi about getting it sent to stable, but if you apply that patch on top of 2.6.30 you should have any trouble.  Since you are dealing with large files you might want commit 1a62e958fa4aaeeb752311b4f5e16b2a86737b23 as well.
