If it's not us who has the page already locked, but somebody else, he
might unlock it at this point and then the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page()
will trigger again.

yes, this patch is pretty weak.

Any better idea is appreciated. ;-)

Remove the BUG_ON() from mlock_vma_page()?  Why was it added?
isolate_lru_page() and putback_lru_page() and *might* require
the page be locked, but I don't immediately see issues?

Ping? This BUG() is triggerable in 3.13-rc6 right now.


Thanks,
Sasha
