Hi Ryan, Christoph, I am able to reproduce the issue now. I am debugging and will update the root cause with you this week. Initial investigation shows the issue might *not* be related to THP_SWPOUT. I am even able to reproduce it after disabling thp and mthp, entirely by small folios: [ 215.925069] folio_alloc_swap folio nr:1 anon:1 swapbacked:1 [ 215.926383] vmscan: shrink_folio_list folio nr:1 anon:1 swapbacked:1 [ 215.927008] folio_alloc_swap folio nr:1 anon:1 swapbacked:1 [ 215.929368] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 215.929824] kernel BUG at fs/nfs/direct.c:144!
