[RHEL6.1] [Kernel] Panic while running testing
Last modified: 2013-01-10 20:51:20 EST
This bug has been copied from bug #698023 and has been proposed to be backported to 6.1 z-stream (EUS).
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Prior to this update, in the __cache_alloc() function, the ac variable could be changed after cache_alloc_refill() and the following kmemleak_erase() function could receive an incorrect pointer, causing kernel panic. With this update, the ac variable is updated after the cache_alloc_refill() unconditionally.
