Sorry if it was confusing, I used an ext4 file and mapped it to multiple
processes, and then let the processes call mbind() with arguments of
random address, random length, and random node.
And yes, I think it's memory policy thing too.

First of all, I checked the return value of get_vma_policy() when BUG() happens
(the BUG() was triggered when policy->mode is not MPOL_PREFERRED or MPOL_BIND,
so I thought that something happened on struct mempolicy.)
The result was weird, I got something like this:
policy->flags 0xffff, policy->mode 0x8801, policy->refcnt 0x1d2cd5a9
So I tried to see why this happened, and checked the argument vma of
page_address_in_vma(), then got vma->vm_start == 0 when the BUG() was triggered.
page_address_in_vma() returns the address of a given page if the address is
within the vma, so if vma's range is corrupted, the result is corrupted too.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure why this wrong vma happened, but when I check
the vma->vm_prev and vma->vm_next, I got something like this:
corrupted vma, vm_start:0, vm_end:700000083000
vma->vm_prev, vm_start:70000000d000, vm_end:7000003e5000
# mempolicy associated with this vma was like this:
# policy->flags 0, policy->mode 2, policy->refcnt 1
# so this vma seems fine.
vma->vm_next was NULL
so these vmas seems to be partially overlapped, that's why I suspected
vma might be split or merged in the wrong way.

OK, it's like below:
