loop-AES and XFS corruption

[Tim Renner <Tim.Renner@L-3com.com>]

I am also having corruption problems...  I'm using the 2.4.14 kernel
with the xfs patch on a single processor machine...  It only happens
when I've subjected the filesystem to fairly high IO...  Here's what I'm
getting in /var/log/messages:

Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: xfs_force_shutdown(loop(7,0),0x8)
called from line 1020 of file xfs_trans.c.  Return address = 0xc01a1073
Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: Corruption of in-memory data
detected.  Shutting down filesystem: loop(7,0)
Mar 12 13:59:06 renner_linux kernel: Please umount the filesystem, and
rectify the problem(s)


And, what the xfs faq has to say about it...

Herbert, Are you getting this same error?  Is anyone else?
