Hi Bhavani, I've traced this through to the slub memory allocator, the problem occurs when slab_alloc() is getting an incorrect return value of 1 from get_cpu_slab(). This indicates the slub allocator is getting corrupted somehow, but with little more evidence, it is hard to determine what exactly is causing the corruption. There are subsequent repeats of this failure due to the same point of failure.
Question: Does this problem occur frequently, or was it a once off bug? I suggest the first step is to run memtest86+ (from the grub boot loader) to make sure that your memory is really 100% OK. -- BUG in kernel 2.6.24-7?
