I agree with your analysis up to here.

But not here.  trinity-c402 would not be holding i_mmap_mutex when it
does the zap_pte_range for exit_mmap below.  Callers of zap_pte_range
coming from unmap_mapping_range would hold i_mmap_mutex, but that's
not the case for exit_mmap.

I realize that the later part of the log shows
    1 lock held by trinity-c402/9339:
    #0: (&mapping->i_mmap_mutex){+.+...}, at: unlink_file_vma (mm/mmap.c:245)
but that's because trinity-c402 completed its unmap_vmas, and had
advanced to free_pgtables by the time that part of the log got written -
given the horrid misfeature that locks being tried are reported as held.

(There are a few other cases where the task has advanced in between
the stack dump and the locks held dump e.g. -c29, -c83, -c87.)

So I think our focus on zap_pte_range was mistaken.

I did not find who was holding the i_mmap_mutex so many are waiting for.
I could easily have missed it, but my suspicion is that nobody holds it,
that it merely got corrupted so that nobody can take it.

I do think that the most useful thing you could do at the moment,
is to switch away from running trinity on -next temporarily, and
run it instead on Linus's current git or on 3.16-rc4, but with
f00cdc6df7d7 reverted and my "take 2" inserted in its place.

That tree would also include Heiko's seq_buf_alloc() patch, which
trinity on -next has cast similar doubt upon: at present, we do
not know if Heiko's patch and my patch are bad in themselves,
or exposing other bugs in 3.16-rc, or exposing bugs in -next.
