Below kernel vm bug can be triggered by tcpdump which mmaped a lot of pages with GFP_COMP flag.
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page:ffffea0015414000 count:66 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x0
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] flags: 0x20047580004000(head)
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound_order(page) && !PageTransHuge(page))

[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] kernel BUG at mm/migrate.c:1661!
[Mon May 25 05:29:33 2015] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
The fix is simply disallow migrate mmaped compound pages, return 0 instead of
report vm bug.
