Subject: mm: hung task (handle_pte_fault)

Hi guys,

During fuzzing using trinity inside a KVM tools guest with latest
linux-next, I seem to be getting it hung once in a while, with the
following spew:

[ 1441.420617] INFO: task trinity:2706 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

According to the logs, it's not the direct result of anything specific
happening, so I can't give an exact scenario to reproduce it. It does
happen rather often.
