Hi 

I tested kernel 2.6.27.6 with patch from 2.6.28rc (wait for chunks in destructor,fix register_snapshot deadlock,) and I identified next problem with kernel and dm but repeatability this problem is very small.I got call trace:

A few weeks ago I got similar call trace with plain kernel 2.6.27 and
patches from mail thread:

Is this known problem or something new? Thanks
