Hmm, I think it might be because compound_head() == NULL here. Holger, this looks like a race condition when allocating a compound page, did you only see it once or is it actually reproducible? I think this happens when a new compound page is allocated and PageBuddy is cleared before prep_compound_page() and then we see PageTail(p) set but p->first_page is not yet initialized. Is there any way to avoid memory barriers in compound_page()? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
