Greg, please see below - this is probably more for you...

So I just did a bit of digging via the almighty Google.
I started hunting for these lines, as they happen just before the stall:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88007b7db480 idx:2 val:-1
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880079c638c0 idx:0 val:-1
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880079c638c0 idx:2 val:-1
I stumbled across this post on the lkml:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=145141546409607
The patch attached seems to reference the following change in
unmap_mapping_range in mm/memory.c:
> - struct zap_details details;
> + struct zap_details details = { };
When I browse the GIT tree for 4.4.6:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/mm/memory.c?id=refs/tags/v4.4.6
I see at line 2411:
struct zap_details details;
Is this something that has been missed being merged into the 4.4 tree?
I'll admit my kernel knowledge is not enough to understand what the code
actually does - but the similarities here seem uncanny.
