This is the IMA problem that's popped up here in the past, and is being =

These aren't ooopses or panics - they're simply calls to dump_stack(). =

machine - you'll get one output for every file in your cache directory =
upon startup, and you'll probably also see them in normal operation. =
Sadly, this is a problem with the Linux kernel that we can't fix - the =
IMA interface in 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 is broken, and unusable by out of =
tree filesystems. The interface has been completely redesigned in =
2.6.33.

You can fix this if you're prepared to rebuild your kernel, and disable =
the CONFIG_IMA option.

Hope that helps,

Simon.
