Dear list, I've hunted down a bug which does *NOT* occur in kernel
2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop from openSUSE 11.3, but crashes stock kernel 2.6.36
triggered by a user!
It's actually very simple. From my desktop (kernel 2.6.36) I "cd" to an
NFS4 share, where a xz compressed image of Win7-64.iso.xz is located.
# cd /q/iso-images
and then I try to uncompress it there (as user, not root!):
# xz -kv Win7-64.iso.xz
With kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop, this runs with ~41MiB/s without
problems.
With kernel 2.6.36, it runs at ~26MiB/s, and while doing so, dmesg shows
a lot of noise about r8169 complaining:

Here are 2 pictures of different crashes:

Neither the dmesg-messages nor the crash happens with kernel
2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop as delivered by openSUSE 11.3, but it always fully
crashes 2.6.36. I've retried about 10 times, it *never* finished to
uncompress the ~3GB image. At around 500-1000MB the kernel was gone.
I'm sure someone knows how to fix it. :-)

Can you test again after reverting 801e147cde02f04b5c2f42764cd43a89fc7400a2 ?
Thanks.
