Actually that particular issue was addressed in crash version 5.0.2
that was just released this week:
- Fix for initialization-time failure on 2.6.34 and later kernels that
were configured with CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM. Without the patch, the crash
session fails with the error message "crash: invalid structure member
offset: pglist_data_bdata".

However, if 2.6.34-rc2-mm1 has this patch (and I presume that is since it's
in 2.6.34-rc3), then you're temporarily out of luck:

percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix.
Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.
Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).
tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the
original patch.
* Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That patch changes all "per_cpu__xxx" symbols to no longer have
the "per_cpu__" prefix -- which breaks quite a few things in the
crash utility, and it will not initialize.
I'm working on a fix for it, and will release a new version of
crash, hopefully this coming week.

Not working on 2.6.34-rc2-mm1
by Zhang Le
I got this on 2.6.34-rc2-mm1:
crash: invalid structure member offset: pglist_data_bdata
FILE: memory.c LINE: 12097 FUNCTION: dump_memory_nodes()
[/usr/bin/crash] error trace: => 81356bc
81356bc: OFFSET_verify+140
any pointers on how to fix this?
