Do you have an idea when this bug might have been introduced?
Presumably it's been there since THP came in?

The reason I ask is that I have one of these exit_mm BUG_ONs
in my pile of one-off unreproducible crashes, but in my case it
happened with 2.6.39 (with THP enabled).  So I'm wondering if
I can cross it off my list and blame this bug, or if it remains one
of those inexplicable mysteries...

Thanks,
  Roland
