Bug Description

Over the last couple of days google chrome has been very unstable and I just found out the reason. It seems to be causing many kernel oopses. I see a lot of entries in the dmesg log like this, all with the same trace.

Googling around, I found this LKML thread, which seems to be talking about the same problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/27/17. It sounds like it's been fixed upstream already.

I saw this with 2.6.32-34.73 but now with 2.6.32-34.74 I don't seem to reproduce it. Perhaps the changes in .74 fixed this issue.
