I can confirm this problem. It happens on one of my newsservers as well,
currently at least once per day. It is a dual PIII 650MHz, 1GB RAM,
200GB spool (scsi hardware raid array attached to adaptec aic7xxx), six
seperate SCSI disks attached to a seperate aic7xxx controller for
overview, running inn-2.3.2.
We've tried RedHat kernels 2.4.18-3, 2.4.18-17.7, 2.4.20-19.7 and
2.4.20-19.7bigmem as well as a kernel.org 2.4.20 - all with the same
problem.
After the filemap.c / pmd_ERROR() printk, the box either hangs (no
further printout, not that often) or has a stack overflow (most of the
time):
filemap.c:2258: bad pmd c0003000(00000000000001e3).
do_IRQ: stack overflow: -864

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with the linux MM subsystem. But
since I consider this now as a confirmed bug, maybe some of the other
lkml folks have an idea what might be going on.

We don't use lvm, so the similarities seem to be: Dual PIII,
SCSI, INN
