I am experiencing a similar problem with ext4 (BUG at inode.c:1063) and I'd like to provide some more information on it. In my setup /boot partition is mounted read-only at startup. The error occurs when I remount it rw and try to copy a file to that partition. Stack trace that I get is, however, a bit different, so it's necessary to note that I use UP implementation of RCU (in my case mpage_da_map_blocks() is called from rcu_read_unlock()). Here is my stack trace and error message: kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:1063! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:05.0/resource Modules linked in: ipw2200 libipw Pid: 2415, comm: flush-8:0 Not tainted 2.6.33-rc2 #2 M5A /M5A EIP: 0060:[<c10a704c>] EFLAGS: 00010297 CPU: 0 EIP is at ext4_get_blocks+0x19f/0x297 EAX: 00000001 EBX: 00000002 ECX: 00000009 EDX: 00000006 ESI: 00000009 EDI: d71e5d5c EBP: f6d20648 ESP: d71e5d18 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 0000 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process flush-8:0 (pid: 2415, ti=d71e4000 task=e5bfd130 task.ti=d71e4000) Stack: f6d206c8 00000040 000006fe 0000010c f6d206bc f69cf200 d71e5d5c e5bfd130 <0> d71e5e88 f6e73000 c10a7236 00000040 d71e5d5c 0000000d 0000010c e234fa68 <0> 00000000 00000060 0000000e d71e5d70 0000110d 00000400 0000005f f6d011c0 Call Trace: [<c10a7236>] ? mpage_da_map_blocks+0x74/0x2ab [<c1044e59>] ? rcu_read_unlock+0x14/0x1e [<c10456c5>] ? find_get_pages_tag+0x9b/0xb7 [<c10a78d1>] ? mpage_add_bh_to_extent+0x6f/0x86 [<c10a79b7>] ? __mpage_da_writepage+0xcf/0x10a [<c104aa56>] ? write_cache_pages+0x16e/0x232 [<c10a78e8>] ? __mpage_da_writepage+0x0/0x10a [<c10a76e1>] ? ext4_da_writepages+0x274/0x3f5 [<c104ab4b>] ? do_writepages+0x14/0x20 [<c107e5d2>] ? writeback_single_inode+0xca/0x260 [<c107ee39>] ? writeback_inodes_wb+0x337/0x3f1 [<c107efe2>] ? wb_writeback+0xef/0x14c [<c1310827>] ? schedule+0x2af/0x2bf [<c107f122>] ? wb_do_writeback+0x68/0x132 [<c107f20c>] ? bdi_writeback_task+0x20/0x7b [<c10522a9>] ? bdi_start_fn+0x51/0xa0 [<c1052258>] ? bdi_start_fn+0x0/0xa0 [<c102a879>] ? kthread+0x5e/0x63 [<c102a81b>] ? kthread+0x0/0x63 [<c1002af6>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 Code: 08 89 c2 8b 04 24 e8 09 ed ff ff 89 c6 8b 85 f0 01 00 00 39 c6 76 04 0f 0b eb fe 31 db 29 f0 74 35 8b 9d f4 01 00 00 39 d8 7d 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 89 c2 8b 44 24 14 29 da 89 d1 c1 f9 1f 05 a8 00 00 EIP: [<c10a704c>] ext4_get_blocks+0x19f/0x297 SS:ESP 0068:d71e5d18 ---[ end trace 5e36b9d9dd2f2ce5 ]--- note: flush-8:0[2415] exited with preempt_count 1
