Public bug reported:

We're experiencing regular (about once in 2 days) spontaneous reboots with one 
of our Amazon instances running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (2.6.32-316-ec2 kernel). 
We're running a sphinx search daemon in combination with linux raid10. The full 
console log is attached, but relevant part is:
...
[10783.890731] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff97fc3640
[10783.890731] IP: [<ffffffff814ae5ad>] schedule+0x28d/0x5f5
[10783.890731] PGD 1002067 PUD 3aee067 PMD 0 
[10783.890731] Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted
[10783.890731] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
...


It is strange, that the instance reboots itself after the crash although we 
have the following kernel panic settings:

search00:/$ sudo sysctl -a |grep panic
kernel.panic = 0
kernel.panic_on_oops = 0
kernel.panic_on_unrecovered_nmi = 0
kernel.panic_on_io_nmi = 0
kernel.softlockup_panic = 0
kernel.hung_task_panic = 0
vm.panic_on_oom = 0
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush'
fs.xfs.panic_mask = 0
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.route.flush'

We'we also ruled out a memory defect of the underlying hardware as we
launched the same image on different hardware, but still got spontaneous
reboots. We have another sphinx instance with the same configuration
(also equal instance type), but without the raid10 array which works
flawlessly.
