Subject: smbfs and Slab corruption bug in 2.6

Hello.

When I am trying to access some files
on an SMB server, I get this in the log:

and then the system is unstable, so that
I have to reboot.

This happens with all 2.6 kernels I tried
(from something like 2.6.2 to 2.6.9).
The only reference to the similar problem
I can find, is this:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/5/22/49

This bug is really nasty and I guess I was
waiting for too long for it to get fixed.
Any hints how can I get more info out of
it, or how can I start debugging it?

smb_add_request() does:

if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}

but then proceeds to play with *req.

Urban, do you have time to review the code in there?

Thanks.
