(Some kernels may need my patch to avoid crashing) I am currently running 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 (that's somewhere at the end of 2.6.29, probably 2.6.29.5). I compiled 2.6.30 as soon as it came 'stable'. In any version of 2.6.30, I encounter the BUG (dma-mapping.h:218). I didn't react immediately, I actually guessed that the problem would have been reported and solved in another 2.6.30.x. Because it didn't, I started browsing the mailing-list (and found your patch). 2.6.30-gentoo-r3 with your patch applied doesn't give the bug, but gives the mesh_abort. Before asking the question, I wanted to build the latest 2.6.31-rc available to make sure my problem didn't get solved in the meantime. 2.6.31-rc3 gives the same mesh_abort. Would you like me to try all the linux-2.6.30-rc? Could you give me your best guess starting-point? I know that there exists something as git-disect ... but I have never used git (there always needs to be the first time, of course).
