>Description:

execution of large executables on a ext2 filesystem can trigger a divide-fault
trap which leads to kernel panic. This is not a problem with the linux
binary emulation but rather a filesystem problem.

>How-To-Repeat:

execute any large file on a linux partition, e.g.

/mount/linux/bin$ ./bash (I assume everyone has got this one :)

>Fix:
	
The problem lies in /sys/vm/vnode_pager.c, vnode_pager_haspage. The relevant
code:

    bsize = vp->v_mount->mnt_stat.f_iosize;
    pagesperblock = bsize / PAGE_SIZE;
    reqblock = pindex / pagesperblock;

The f_iosize _and_ f_bsize on my ext2fs partition is 1024 bytes, or at least
that is what statfs() reports. If bsize < PAGE_SIZE, pagesperblock is set
to 0. I have no fix.
