I am also reproducing this issue.
Memory overcommit is disabled in my setup. Committed_AS grows to
mem+swap after 1-2 hours of compilation load and system becomes
nonoperational.
I've bisected this issue:

mm: Update do_vmi_align_munmap() return semantics
Since do_vmi_align_munmap() will always honor the downgrade request on
the success, the callers no longer have to deal with confusing return
codes. Since all callers that request downgrade actually want the lock
to be dropped, change the downgrade to an unlock request.
Note that the lock still needs to be held in read mode during the page
table clean up to avoid races with a map request.
Update do_vmi_align_munmap() to return 0 for success. Clean up the
callers and comments to always expect the unlock to be honored on the
success path. The error path will always leave the lock untouched.
As part of the cleanup, the wrapper function do_vmi_munmap() and
callers
to the wrapper are also updated.
Looks like memory statistics depends on removed locks.
Thanks.
