xfs versus ext4 => Both triggers the bug

CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y versus CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=n => No difference

No mem= parameter versus mem=768M => Cannot trigger if mem=768M (i.e. not using HighMem)

CONFIG_SLUB=y versus CONFIG_SLAB=y => Both triggers the bug

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y versus CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=n => Cannot trigger if CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=n

I don't know whether there is a bug in CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y code.
Config is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/config-4.15-rc7-min .
