BUG: Bad rss-counter state
Hi folks,
I just noticed the following couple lines in my kernel log for Linux 3.4.2:
Jun 20 14:57:54 emergent kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88000ff1f400 idx:1 val:-2 Jun 20 14:57:54 emergent kernel: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88000ff1f400 idx:2 val:2
I have no idea what these messages mean, nor what I was doing exactly at 14:57:54 today, nor whether they've been fixed in newer kernels. Regardless, they appear to be telling me that there's a kernel problem since they contain the word "BUG", so I figured I had better report them nonetheless. Other than the fact that these messages were printed, the system is operating normally.
This happened about a week after bootup, so it's probably not easy to reproduce.
Let me know if you need any more info,

Ah, and it appears to have been merged by Linus yesterday.
Thanks,
