This also affects me, but started just two days ago (2011-08-18).

I've also tried a different kernel (2.6.38 in Natty >>> 3.0.0 vanilla with custom config), however, with no change.

Up to now I was unable to say what causes this problem, but the call stack suspects kswapd once again (seems to be a source of a lot of problems since kernel 2.6.35).

This is the dmesg output:

And here is another one with the Natty kernel:

...although the message is different the call trace looks quite similar (shrink dcache vs. shrink icache)...

Had this problem occur last night on shut-down.
I've had this problem occur a couple of times in the last month.
Using kernel 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Xubuntu version).
Similar output to comments #2 and #3 above.
Hardware is Gigabyte G41MT-S2P motherboard with Intel E5700 dual core 64 bit processors and 8Gb RAM (onboard display adapter shares this memory). Integrated display adapter is Northbridge G41.
I'm running BOINC in the background.
At first I thought this might be a RAM fault, but memtest comes up with nothing.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . If possible, please test the latest kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the others). 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.

If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.1-rc9 fixed and issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.1-rc9'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Thanks in advance.
