Hello Ilya,
thanks for sending me the gdb info too.
can you test this fix? Thanks a lot! (it only affected x86 32bit
builds with highpte enabled)

Subject: fix pte_unmap in khugepaged for highpte x86_32
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
__collapse_huge_page_copy is still dereferencing the pte passed as parameter so
we must pte_unmap after __collapse_huge_page_copy returns, not before.
