The BUG() is still there to trap cases where we have list or bit corruption, but I haven't been able to trigger it with my latest patches.
What I /do/ see is lru_cache_add() getting called for pages which are already in one of the lists. For now I simply detect this case and work around it. I still don't know what causes the problem, but it no longer causes any stability or data corruption problems.
In fact, I plan to spend most of my time trying to track down the 2 VM problems on tytso's list:
1) the innd data corruption bug 2) system hangs with 0 free low memory and some free high memory
The lru_cache_add() BUG() seems to be defanged for now and isn't very high priority to me...
