Thanks for the reproducer!The patches upstream in Linus's tree should resolve these crashes, correct? If not, please let the kernel developers know, as we ended up going with a different set of changes than the distros shipped, and are still working on getting these backported to older stable kernels at the moment.
For a bit of history... We used the patch developed by Michal Hocko, which was apparently adjusted/rewritten by Hugh Dickins for upstream inclusion. We are working on the improvements on those for our 3.0 kernel, but take a backport of the mainline fix for 3.12 and 4.4 kernels. Ciao, Marcus
