Are you using the sysbot reproducer or another test?
In that case, can you share it?

 From the stack trace it seemed to me that the worker accesses a zone 
that has been cleaned (iotlb), so it is invalid and fails.
That's why I had this patch tested which should stop the worker before 
cleaning.

Stefano
