  Interesting. Can you try to reproduce the problem without the
proprietary Nvidia module? Also if you could run:
  gdb /boot/vmlinux (or where you have your vmlinux file stored)
  disass end_buffer_write_async

and send me the first page. The kernel complains that the buffer does
not have async flag set on the buffer which it really should when
end_buffer_async_write() is called. On my machine, buffer flags are in
RAX which is 1 on your machine. That would be really strange - it ought
to be something like 261...
