Bingo! With the above patch:

[ 243.565794] kernel BUG at mm/vmacache.c:76!
[ 243.566720] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

and this is also part of the DEBUG_PAGEALLOC + trinity combo! I suspect
the root cause it the same as Fengguang's report.

The BUG still happens without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
Any idea what trinity itself is doing?

Could you add the following, I just want to make sure the bug isn't
being caused by an overflow:

Not hitting that WARN.

Sasha, could you please try the following patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/13/312

I was getting the "kernel BUG at mm/vmacache.c:76!" running KSM
on mmotm: Oleg's patch (buildable version below) fixes it for me.

Sorry for the delay, some patch in the last -next broke boot and I had to spend
a while waiting for the bisect before I could test this patch.

The patch fixes the vmacache issues I've been seeing.


Thanks,
Sasha
