SubjectRe: kernel Ooops (2.5.63 bk latest)
Hi Linus,

The BUG was caught in d_validate() --> dget(). I think the
dentry to be validated can be already on LRU list with d_count
as zero. So, dget_locked should be used in place of dget().
dcache_rcu mistakingly used dget. This patch corrects it.

Please apply the following patch.

diff -urN linux-2.5.63-bk3/fs/dcache.c linux-2.5.63-bk3-d_validate/fs/dcache.c

if (dentry == list_entry(lhp, struct dentry, d_hash)) {

spin_unlock(&dcache_lock);
return 1;
}
