Comment 1 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2009-12-17 23:44:35 UTC 
Can you perform the following from your kernel source directory and post the
results here:

Using the same gcc version and kernel from the trace.

make CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y drivers/md/dm-mpath.o
gdb drivers/md/dm-mpath.o
list *multipath_ctr+0x4b9

Might be uselful to have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO turned out in the event this reoccurs we can get more info.
