Thank you!  Though Vlastimil has made it clear that we cannot go
forward with that one-liner patch, so I've just proposed another.

I've rather concentrated on putting the new patch together, and just
haven't had time to give these two much thought - nor shall tomorrow,
I'm afraid.

Weird, I don't think we've seen anything like that before, have we?
I'm pretty sure it's not a consequence of my "index = min(index, end)",
but what it portends I don't know.  Please confirm mm/memory.c:1132 -
that's the "if (PageAnon(page))" line, isn't it?  Which indeed matches
the code below.  So accessing page->mapping is causing an oops...

I wandered through the log you attached, but didn't have much idea of
what I should look for, and set it aside to get on with other things.

I think it was just confirming what Vlastimil indicated, that the
one-liner patch is not good enough: lots of hole-punches waiting
their turn for i_mutex, though I didn't see as many corresponding
faults into those holes as perhaps I expected.

Your mm/memory.c:1132 is more intriguing, but right now I can't
afford to get very intrigued by it!
