Hi Andrey,

I've tried with your reproducer but it didn't recreate.  Can you try
again with the following patch from the tip tree, instead of your BUG()
patch?

  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/patch/?id=8b5e99f02264130782a10ba5c0c759797fb064ee

That will dump the stack data, which should give more clues about what
went wrong.
