yes, this is a good place to start ;-). i'll need your System.map
corresponding to this kernel or a decoded oops to see what functions
were involved. also next time you could enable frame pointers and
KALLSYMS to get a better trace. you could also try a newer kernel
(if it's reproducible) as .22 isn't supported for PaX anymore.

thanks for the info, the bug occured in find_get_page because
radix_tree_lookup returned '1' instead of a NULL or valid ptr.
how that is possible i have no idea, if you can reproduce the
bug then it's time to call in the real kernel devs i think .

Well I go with whatever is marked stable and atm it's .22. Will send the
System.map in private.
