I have tested with my backport patch and it is working fine as I am
unable to reproduce the mmu.c 1872 or 1860 bug with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC not set.  I tested with testcrash.sh loop 100
and 1000.  Now doing testcrash.sh loop 10000.

Xiaoyun, is it possible for you to test my patch and see whether can
you reproduce the mmu.c 1872/1860 bug?

Can anyone of you review my patch?

I will post a format patch according to
Documentation/SubmittingPatches in my next reply and hopefully can be
reviewed.

Thanks.

Kindest regards,
Giam Teck Choon
