When running LTP (https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp) on the v10
bits (and also with Sean's branch above) I encounter the following NULL
pointer dereference with testcases/kernel/syscalls/madvise/madvise01
(100% reproducible).

It appears that in restrictedmem_error_page() inode->i_mapping->private_data
is NULL
in the list_for_each_entry_safe(inode, next, &sb->s_inodes, i_sb_list)
but I don't know why.

Kirill, can you take a look?  Or pass the buck to someone who can? :-)

The patch below should help.

Thanks, this works for me.

Regards,
Liam
