Subject: mm: BUG_ON with NUMA_BALANCING (kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:131!)

Hi,

 I am getting BUG_ON in migration_entry_to_page() with 4.1.0-rc2
kernel on powerpc system which has 512 CPUs (64 cores - 16 nodes) and
1.6 TB memory. We can easily recreate this issue with kernel compile
(make -j500). But I could not reproduce with numa_balancing=disable.

I think we are hitting this race issue when the migrate entry page is
not locked.

dump_page() for *old page:

page:f00000035f36a5a0 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping:c00009cf3d351311
index:0x3ffffffe
flags: 0x93ffff800080009(locked|uptodate|swapbacked)

dump_page() for migrate entry page:

page:f00000009f36a5a0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
flags: 0x13ffff800000000()

Any suggestions on how to debug this issue?

Thanks
Haren
