There is no hint for understanding what was going on. While we can observe "BUG: workqueue lockup" under memory pressure, there is no hint like SysRq-t and SysRq-m. Thus, I can't tell something is wrong. At least you need to confirm that lockup lasts for a few minutes. Otherwise, this might be just overstressing. (According to repro.c , 12 threads are created and soon SEGV follows? According to above message, only 2 CPUs? Triggering SEGV suggests memory was low due to saving coredump?) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
