Yes.

I made 2 cpuset directories, run some processes in each cpusets,
and run a script like below infinitely to move tasks and migrate pages.

---
#!/bin/bash

G1=$1
G2=$2

move_task()
{
        for pid in $1
        do
                echo $pid >$2/tasks 2>/dev/null
        done
}

G1_TASK=`cat ${G1}/tasks`
G2_TASK=`cat ${G2}/tasks`

move_task "${G1_TASK}" ${G2} &
move_task "${G2_TASK}" ${G1} &

wait
---

I got this bad_page after running this script for about 600 times.


Thanks,
Daisuke Nishimura.
