xfs_count_page_state inside kswapd

[Tharindu Rukshan Bamunuarachchi <btharindu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

We got following oops in one of our SLES 11 server. This occurred inside swapd and we running our server swap turned off..

Could this be memory corruption or possible old bug in code ?

Please help.

Thanks
