So, I think the issue occurs because of the pte_lockptr lock being used
on a PMD and is incontention with the lock on the same PMD.  There are
several possible points where this can happen, for example, pages being
migrated on NUMA systems (unlikely in most of these bug reports) or even
mremap() being used remap a mapped region to a new location. It may be
because a page fault occurs on a page that is being migrated or being
remapped while it is being accessed and it's swapped out; the latter
case may introduce a lot of latency if there are lots of pending I/Os
during the swap.
