I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration. 3.0 BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page(): kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105! RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81127b76>] [<ffffffff81127b76>] migration_entry_wait+0x156/0x160 [<ffffffff811016a1>] handle_pte_fault+0xae1/0xaf0 [<ffffffff810feee2>] ? __pte_alloc+0x42/0x120 [<ffffffff8112c26b>] ? do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0xab/0x310 [<ffffffff81102a31>] handle_mm_fault+0x181/0x310 [<ffffffff81106097>] ? vma_adjust+0x537/0x570 [<ffffffff81424bed>] do_page_fault+0x11d/0x4e0 [<ffffffff81109a05>] ? do_mremap+0x2d5/0x570 [<ffffffff81421d5f>] page_fault+0x1f/0x30 mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock, and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when there's memory hotremove and compaction. The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old. Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry() before it takes pagetable lock. Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.
