As it also affect the mips arch, perhaps mips maintainer should also have a look at it.The mips kernel seems not to trigger the failure seen on sparc, but the current handling is arguably incorrect for mips as well.
Thanks for looking at it, Thiemo. Since your message does not make it clear whether you want it or not :-), I've committed it as dcache-memory-corruption.patch to dists/sid/linux-2.6.16. Feel free to remove the mips hunk if you feel that it's not neccessary.
2.6.16 on sparc is good to go now. Best regards, Jurij Smakov jurij@wooyd.org Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC
