It's probably the same bug Cliff Wickman reported.
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() was using wrong first chunk match logic which
ends up passing wrong addresses to vmalloc_to_page().  I have the
following fix patch queued in percpu#for-linus branch and was waiting
for Linus to come back.

 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9983b6f0cf8263e51bcf4c8a9dc0c1ef175b3c60;hp=a92d3ff9e5dbd958d8008a3e7a573e988e370ca3

Can you please verify the above patch fixes the problem?

Thanks.
