Linux Archive - Bug#661558: linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64: kernel oops when adding a bitmap to a raid1 md device

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: normal

The kernel oopsed on me after I added a bitmap to a RAID1 md device with:

mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --bitmap=internal

This happened to me during normal operation -- twice, because I hoped the
first time it was just bad luck. Then I booted with init=/bin/bash, i.e.
nothing but the bare kernel, built a RAID1 on two spare partitions, added a
bitmap as described above and it oopsed again as soon as I tried to write
something to the device. I was able to capture some traces with my phone's
camera; this is my home computer so I'm not able to get a better trace with
netconsole or a serial port. Might however try at work if necessary.

The first picture (27022012040-25%-gray.png) is the bottom part of a trace;
the rest scrolled away while I opened the phone, so I tried again and got
the second picture (27022012041-25%-gray.png) but it looks like there's no
overlap in the functions listed.

FYI, mdadm is version 3.2.3-2.

Also, unfortunately I just launched a dist-upgrade and didn't notice that
kernel version 3.2.6-1 was in the list :(
I haven't rebooted yet, but this means I might not be able to try again with
version 3.2.4-1. I'll certainly try with 3.2.6-1 at the next boot!

I've removed most of the autogenerated information from this mail because I
don't think there's anything relevant about this problem. On the other hand,
some information which might be of use is:
* CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 260
* memory: 8GB
* disk 1: Seagate ST3500620AS
* disk 2: WD WD5001AALS
