[Vegard Nossum]

Hi guys,

I ran into this one on commit c624c86615fb8aa61fa76ed8c935446d06c80e77:

In particular, it's interesting that the kernel/exit.c line is

    mpol_put(tsk->mempolicy);

and alloc_pages_current() does (potentially):

    pol = get_task_policy(current);.

The bug seems very new or very rare or both.
