If this is it, and so far it looks like it for me, wouldn't it be time
to create a
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST
option that caught these illegal list manipulations?
I know - talk is cheap, code isn't etc etc :-)

Looking real good. I just tried this on a machine that couldn't stay up
for more than an hour with 2.4.21-pre3-ac4. I performed a number of disk
intensive tasks, any one of which had a near 100% chance of crashing the
box, and no problem so far. I'll keep running it and let you know if I
see any problems.
Thanks you.

Patch looks like it solved the problem. 6 kernel compiles
and 6 mke2fs with bad block scans and the system is still
up.
The only thing I'm still seeing that is unusual is this kernel
message:
ide: no cache flush required.
which only shows up in the file:
./drivers/ide/ide-disk.c:
Nothing seams to come of them, but in the average boot I see
25 or so of them. They did not show up under linux-2.4.21-pre3.
As near as I can tell they are generated when an ide device is
closed.

Exactly when you want to flush the devices to platter.
The problem will be what to do if we get an error on flush-cache.

Are these "no cach flush required" messages going to be removed? It does
clutter up the boot process output pretty badly.

Same here. I can actually work using this kernel

Look what sendmail just dragged in:
Ah, so if SMTP is a dog, does that imply that sendmail is a cat? It'd
make sense, given that cats will often drag in nasty little dying
things & drop them lovingly in front of you.
A female cat. Because sometimes, sendmail is a bitch.
To me they seam like a candidate for output at a higher
debug level or ide specific debug. They aren't a driver
setup, odd condition, or error message.

One thing to ask, did you get an 0x51 , 0x04 error set prior to seeing the
flush cache message error?
If not then those changes need to be stripped out as more proof of letting
the device protect itself from properly formed commands.
The change to hid one noise maker pollutes another wrongly.

Its short term debugging.
