OOPS

Description of problem: on multi-core F16, running coreutils' "make -j25 distcheck" on an SSD-backed ext4 file system occasionally provokes odd failures.  Yesterday I saw the attached OOPS.
Several of the tests create and delete hundreds of thousands of files,
as well as a few directory hierarchies that are designed to push the
limits of the tools.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc16

How reproducible: rarely
After yesterday's failure, I rebooted into a newer kernel and ran the above command more than 50 times, without reproducing the failure.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.
  
Actual results:

Comment 4 Jim Meyering 2012-09-04 14:56:35 UTC 
Odd... I don't recall being notified of these 3 "needinfo" flags.
Anyhow, it's fine that this is closed, since I have since been unable to reproduce.

Thanks.
