Nick and I had already been looking at drivers/scsi/{sg.c,st.c},
brought there by __put_page in sg.c's peculiar sg_rb_correct4mmap,
which we'd like to remove. But that's irrelevant to your pain, except...
One extract from the patches I'd like to send Doug and Kai for 2.6.15
or 2.6.16 is this below: since the incomplete get_user_pages path omits
to reset res, but has already released all the pages, it will result in
premature freeing of user pages, and behaviour just like you've seen.
Though I'd have thought incomplete get_user_pages was an exceptional
case, and a bit surprised you'd encounter it. Perhaps there's some
other premature freeing in the driver, and this instance has nothing
whatever to do with it.
If the problem were easily reproducible, it'd be great if you could
try this patch; but I think you've said it's not :-(

Fixed various problems in opening sequence of adapters which was previously
changed with NPIV support:

otherwise adapters on z900 cannot be opened anymore
o corrected setup of timer for exchange port data if called from error

o corrected check of return code of exchange config data

Otherwise we might end up with some uninitialized locks, like e.g. the

Some SCSI devices apparently get very confused if we try to use the
echo buffer on a non-DT negotiated bus (this mirrors the problems of
using PPR on non-LVD for some devices). The fix is to be far more
conservative about when we use an echo buffer. With this patch, we'll
now see what parameters are negotiated by the read only test, and only
look for an echo buffer if DT is negotiated.

ARMv6K CPUs have SEV (send event) and WFE (wait for event) instructions
which allow the CPU clock to be suspended until another CPU issues a
SEV, rather than spinning on the lock wasting power. Make use of these
instructions.
Note that WFE does not wait if an event has been sent since the last WFE
cleared the event status, so although it may look racy, the instruction
implementation ensures that these are dealt with.

without this patch after an rmmod, modprobe the card won't work anymore
until the next reboot.
This patch seem safe to apply for all cards as the bsd driver already do
that.
I had to add a timeout because strange things happen (issuecommand will
fail) if the card is already reseted (after a reboot).
PS : it seems there are missing reset when leaving monitor mode...

If using UDP over VLAN, with the skge driver there is a possibility
of generating an incorrect checksum. This is a unlikely occurrence
because it is only an issue on Yukon revision 0, and that revision
doesn't seem to exist on any current hardware (probably early prototype).

This patch fixes graceful stop timeout handling in PPC4xx EMAC driver.
Currently, when we stop TX/RX channels we just do some number of loops
without relying on actual spent time. This has finally bitten me on
one of our systems (heavy network traffic during start up, RX channel
is stopped several times to configure multicast list).
Graceful channel stop can take up to 1 frame time, so I've added
device specific timeout counter which depends on current link speed
and calls to udelay() to really wait required amount of time before
giving up.
