Comment 159 for bug 620074

Now at least i know what's going on.. it seems like its somehow coupled with mm because when this happens a) i can see invocations of the oom_killer in the logs after reboot and b) SYSRQ + sync & unmount action do not end the furious HDD LED flashing so i presume the kernel is misusing swapspace..
btw this is a very indeterminate and simply doing the same thing again will not reproduce the problem... so my vote is for uuhm race condition or spinlock recursion, too.
