Kernel BUG at fs/dcache

This morning i come into the office to find my machine completely frozen: after hard-rebooting since neither REISUB solved the problem, journalctl logged this:

It looks like linux 3.6.5 was affected by this but it seems also they already patched it for this.. regression?
My system is completely up-to-date, switch to systemd back in October, never had a problem until i upgraded to Gnome 3.6, my kernel is Linux amsterdam 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 11:57:22 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm getting almost the same error in my journalctl. The only difference is I have a different modules list.

Kernel version is the same:

Linux amatriain-desktop 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 11:57:22 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Strange symptoms I've experienced recently, could be related:

- a total freeze that required a hard reset
- when I try to open a file with nautilus from a remote samba folder, sometimes it just doesn't open
- when I try to cd into a permanently mounted remote samba folder, sometimes it refuses to cd into the folder. The terminal just sits there without ever giving me a shell prompt again, like stuck in an infinite loop.

It seems to be cifs related. Is there already an open bug?

amatriain · 2012-11-12 21:05:11

Is it possible that Fedora has patched this for their 3.6.5 kernel but the patch has not yet been accepted upstream or reached our repos? I'm not too familiar with how this would work.

anatolik · 2012-11-13 17:15:59

The fix for this issue was sent and accepted upstream in commit 3798f47aa276b332c30da499cb4df4577e2f8872 This fix will be available in linux 3.7

And indeed the Fedora kernel was patched with that change. You might want to contact Arch kernel maintainers if they are ok with patching our kernel as well https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/
