The shared mapped file on shmem/tmpfs?  So involving shared policy stuff?

I've not heard of that before.  What evidence led you there?

No idea at present.

Please send disassembly (objdump -d, or objdump -ld if you had DEBUG_INFO)
of policy_zonelist() - the Code line isn't enough to go on, since it just
shows where the BUG jumped to out-of-line, with no clue as to what might
be in the registers - thanks.
