Hey Jan,
Another hit in testing, which may or may not be related to the last one. The
BUG is a few lines off from the previous report:
kernel BUG at mm/workingset.c:423!
vs
kernel BUG at mm/workingset.c:435!
I've been able to consistently hit this one using DAX + ext4 with generic/086.
For some reason generic/086 always passes when run by itself, but fails
consistently if you run it after a set of other tests. Here is a relatively
fast set that reproduces it:
