Bad Page State In File System Related Opeartions (3.10.35)

While doing data transfer between several hosts with different file 
systems/protocols, I always get errors as below:

The paths of the call-traces are random. However, the processes hitting 
the bad pages are usually cp, somtimes the processes accessing files 
like ftpd in this case.

When the fields count, mapcount, and map of a page are all 0 or NULL, is 
it valid that the page has the flag referenced set? I am wondering if 
this is a use-after-free case.

I also find that, after I remove the hfsplus volumes, this issue disappears.

I have traced into the kernel code for any potnetial racing with the 
finction mark_page_accessed() but find nothing.

Would any one suggest about this issue? All the suggestions and comments 
are appreciated.
