Oh I just got the very crash you're talking about with aa.git with
your v8 code. Weird that I never reproduced it before! I think it's
because I fixed gcc to be fully backed by hugepages always (without
khugepaged) and I was rebuilding a couple of packages, and that now
triggers memory compaction much more, but mixed with heavy
fork/execve. This is the only instability I managed to reproduce over
24 hours of stress testing and it's clearly not related to transparent
hugepage support but it's either a bug in migrate.c (more likely) or
memory compaction.

Note that I'm running with the 2.6.33 anon-vma code, so it will
relieve you to know it's not the anon-vma recent changes causing this
(well I can't rule out anon-vma bugs, but if it's anon-vma, it's a
longstanding one).

It doesn't look like a coincidence the page that had the migration PTE
set was the argv in the user stack during execve. The bug has to be
there. Or maybe it's a coincidence and it will mislead us. If you've
other stack traces please post them so I can have more info (I'll post
more stack traces if I get them again, it doesn't look easy to
reproduce, supposedly the bug has always been there since the first
time I used memory compaction, and this is the first time I reproduce
it).
