In 2.6.27.6 line 471 in fs/buffer.c is inside write and looks like this:

first = page_buffers(page)

and page_buffers is defined as:

#define page_buffers(page) \
({ \
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \
((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \
})

So we get a page without page_private set.

Now XFS always creates buffers in writepage when it doesn't have those
yet using the VFS helper create_empty_buffers which calls
attach_page_buffers, which sets the page private flag.


Given that the binary 3d driver always caused random VM problems can you
try to reproduce it with one loaded?
