Hi, I triggered the following bug on v3.16-rc1 when I did mbind() testing where multiple processes repeat calling mbind() for a shared mapped file (causing pingpong of page migration.) In my investigation, it seems that some vma accidentally has vma->vm_start = 0, which makes new_vma_page() choose a wrong vma and results in breaking the assumption that the address passed to alloc_pages_vma() should be inside a given vma. I'm suspecting that mbind_range() do something wrong around vma handling, but I don't have enough luck yet. Anyone has an idea?
