Subject: PROBLEM: repeated remap_file_pages on tmpfs triggers bug on process
 exit

Hi,

repeated mapping of the same file on tmpfs using remap_file_pages
sometimes triggers a "BUG at mm/filemap.c:202" when the process exits, log
message below. The system is an x86_64 VirtualBox machine with 2GB of RAM
running Debian, but it could also be reproduced on a non-virtualized
laptop.

The bug can be triggered in Linux 3.16-rc5, bisecting has located d7c17551
as the first failing commit (mm: implement ->map_pages for shmem/tmpfs).

A test program for this has been attached (I don't trust this webmailer to
not mangle it). With the parameters set in the source code, the BUG
message should be triggered within a small number of tries (usually the
first or second). Changing the size of the memory map sometimes delays the
bug ("while true; do ./remap-demo; done" should still trigger it within a
few seconds) or avoids it completely - I don't see any patterns yet. Using
(at least) two different mappings for the file, each of which has been
remapped seem to be a requirement for triggering it.

Implementing the same mappings using mmap() does not appear to cause any
problems, but I assume that someone might care about this problem while
remap_file_pages() is still in the kernel.
