Ok, this does not look related. It looks like damage from the VMA caching
patches, possibly a use-after free. I'm skeptical that it's related to
automatic NUMA balancing as such based on the second trace you posted.

It's a bit weird because right after applying the patch I've hit this trace 
twice while
never seeing it previously.

But it's very possible since there are quite a lot of different mm issues 
around right now.

What does addr2line -e vmlinux ffffffff81299385 say? I want to be sure
it looks like a vma dereference without risking making a mistake
decoding it.

mm/vmacache.c:75

Or:

        if (vma && vma->vm_start <= addr && vma->vm_end > addr)

1. Does this bug trigger even if automatic NUMA balancing is disabled?

(assuming we're talking about kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:439!)

Yes, same result with numa_balancing=disable.

2. Does this bug trigger if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is disabled? If it's a
        use-after free then the bug would still be there.

Still there.

3. Can you test with the following patches reverted please?

        e15d25d9c827b4346a36a3a78dd566d5ad353402 
mm-per-thread-vma-caching-fix-fix
        e440e20dc76803cdab616b4756c201d5c72857f2 mm-per-thread-vma-caching-fix
        0d9ad4220e6d73f63a9eeeaac031b92838f75bb3 mm: per-thread vma caching

The last patch will not revert cleanly (least it didn't for me) but it
was just a case of git rm the two affected files, remove any include of
vmacache.h and commit the rest.

Don't see the issues I've reported before now.



Thanks,
Sasha
