host5 shutdown?

Something weird happened to my linode after 18:40 (BST==UTC+1) and my machine shut down… I wasn't even at my PC, so it wasn't me!

Any ideas?

Here's the log snippet:

I've seen this once before with a Linode running an older kernel, and I believe it is a bug in the Linux kernel itself, not relating to UML. I'll shoot an email out to uml-devel and see if anyone has any thoughts.

I remember this now… It's a bug in 2.6.5. I'll try to roll up a 2.6.7-um kernel soon.

    270 static inline struct dentry *dget(struct dentry *dentry)
    271 {
    272         if (dentry) {
    273                 BUG_ON(!atomic_read(&dentry->d_count));
    274                 atomic_inc(&dentry->d_count);
    275         }
    276         return dentry;
    277 }
