Bug#734172: additional information



I'm going to test setting this parameter (although I don't use Xen):

http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-xen-drbd-mod-params.html

Googling around there seems to be a relation between Oops, drbd active/active and this setting.
DRBD source code says this which sounds like it could be related:

         /* e.g. XFS meta- & log-data is in slab pages, which have a
          * page_count of 0 and/or have PageSlab() set.
          * we cannot use send_page for those, as that does get_page();
          * put_page(); and would cause either a VM_BUG directly, or
          * __page_cache_release a page that would actually still be referenced
          * by someone, leading to some obscure delayed Oops somewhere else. */
         if (disable_sendpage || (page_count(page) < 1) || PageSlab(page))
                 return _drbd_no_send_page(mdev, page, offset, size, msg_flags);
