So > just 2.6.18-rc6+origin.patch exhibits the failure. That is mainline. Ah - thanks for explaining that for me, Andrew. Michal, there were several XFS fixes (4, I think) that went into -rc7. If -rc6 fails and -rc7 doesn't then we need to check if one of those fixes is responsible. The crash doesn't match any of the symptoms we've seen from them, but it's worth checking.
