Hm? You reported this already 6 days ago in this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139484133311556&w=2

Then I sent a debug patch and from your results concluded something is 
probably wrong with the vma and suspected vma caching:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139513931519048&w=2

However next-20140320 means that the latest fixes to vma caching were 
applied, so I have no idea now. But reapplying the debug patch shouldn't 
hurt, maybe it will yield something else/more useful this time.
