Thanks. Do you have trinity log and the .config file? I'm currently 
unable to even boot linux-next with my config/setup due to a GPF.
Looking at code I wouldn't expect that it could encounter a tail page, 
without first encountering a head page and skipping the whole huge page. 
At least in THP case, as TLB pages should be split when a vma is split. 
As for hugetlbfs, it should be skipped for mlock/munlock operations 
completely. One of these assumptions is probably failing here...
