Thanks for the additional information earlier.  ext4, so no shmem
shared mempolicy involved: that cuts down the bugspace considerably.

I agree from what you said that it looked like corrupt vm_area_struct
and hence corrupt policy.

Here's an obvious patch to try, entirely untested - thanks for the
reproducer, but I'd rather leave the testing to you.  Sounds like
you have a useful fuzzer there: good catch.


[PATCH] mm: fix crashes from mbind() merging vmas

v2.6.34's 9d8cebd4bcd7 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced
vma merging to mbind(), but it should have also changed the convention
of passing start vma from queue_pages_range() (formerly check_range())
to new_vma_page(): vma merging may have already freed that structure,
resulting in BUG at mm/mempolicy.c:1738 and probably worse crashes.

Fixes: 9d8cebd4bcd7 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem")
