Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity running inside a KVM tools guest using latest -next kernel,
I've stumbled on a "mm: BUG: Bad rss-counter state" error which was pretty non-obvious
in the mix of the kernel spew (why?).

I've added a small BUG() after the printk() in check_mm(), and here's the full output:
