Hello !!
I have the same problem with -ac tree.
Alan Cox said he suspected several things to induce this oops:
* Guess #1 is reverting
mm/shmem.c.
* Guess #2 is reverting the buffer cache changes.
* Guess #3 is new IDE + highmem
no highmem enabled here.
Quoted 3 lines
* Guess #4 is quota related (are people seeing the problem with quota disabled ?)
I do have quota enabled, so I'll try it without just to double check your results.

Personnally, I answered him, I dont'have quota enabled, so Guess #4 doesn't exist anymore.
It's looking like shmem or buffer cache.
The call trace that I posted certainly looks more like the buffer cache, but obviously doesn't eliminate shmem as the culprit. Is there an easy way to back out one or the other of these changes? I'm happy to do some testing.
