While at first glance this looks like a general bug, it might still be
some oddity in hugetlbfs. Sachin, how reproducible is this? I just ran the
libhugetlbfs tests just fine on x86-64. Can you post your .config please?

This implies it might not be easily reproducible because no commits
happened between that window that affected anon_vma locking. I have the
test running in a loop to see can I reproduce it.

Thanks
