Is the crashing program multithreaded? The first report had firefox triggering the oops.=20 OK, I've got a test program that triggers it now. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.=20 The problem seems to be that update_mmu_cache() is called on a guard page with no access rights.=20 =20 Changing update_mmu_cache() to always call flush_dcache_icache_page() fixes it, though a better performing fix would probably be to add an exception table entry for the dcbst.
I can confirm that this seems to fix it.
