another one.

Pardon, I have wrongly decided that cmn_err() function (that we use for log
output) should print out something in case we enable some verbose level in the
driver code. So, I have not payed attention to log messages that were placed in
the patch. That's my fault. After applying your patch I had never see that oops
again. Just be noted, before I have applied the patch I observed the problem is
not 100% reproducible, it appears from time to time.

Actually, the idea was to reduce oops while mounting only.

> Just wondering, what driver do use

I'm using xfs driver that comes with 2.6.23 kernel (as I have stated at the bug
description). Be noted, I have adapted your patch for my driver version to be
able to apply it.

How can I check that?

No

I have observed that the issue can be reduced in case I will do xfs_repair just
before mount. After that the problem was not reproduced anymore (for partition
to which I have applied xfs_repair).
