SubjectBUG() at line 804, slab.c, 2.4.3


I noticed that subsequent calls to kmem_cache_create with the same name
does not return an -EEXIST return code, but instead barfs and crashes
with a bug at slab.c line 804. This occurs in 2.4.3.

Is this the expected behavior for kmem_cache_create? I am using
the slab allocator to create and maintain buffer head chains for
asynch I/O.

I would assume that if a valid tag existed, an error would be returned
rather than the system crashing. I see the problem unloading then
reloading the module on 2.4.3.

Thanks,

Jeff
