Bug Description

While doing some testing with dmsetup and gparted on dmraid devices in today's Natty daily live cd, I hit this bug twice. The relevant code seems to be:

void iput(struct inode *inode)
{
 if (inode) {
  BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR);

  if (atomic_dec_and_lock(&inode->i_count, &inode_lock))
   iput_final(inode);
 }
}

This was tripped when I tried manually removing a linear partition mapping with dmsetup remove, and again when I started a patched gparted I am testing.

This bug seems a bit randomish. I tried to reproduce it the same way I did the first time and could not. A while later it happened when I run dmraid -an. I've hit it by doing several things, all of which seem to involve removing a dm device. I wrote down the call stack on one:

bdput
free_dev
__dm_destroy
dev_remove
ctl_ioctl
dm_ioctl

Hi Phillip,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 722925

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Tested with build from Linus's tree post 2.6.38-rc6+ and it happens there too. Starting to git bisect.

Setting to high priority since, well, it's a kernel BUG.

Based on the upstream bug it seems this will be fixed when we upload the current rebased Natty. Closing Fix Committed.
