Greetings,
I send Dave, what I feel is the bad commit for the current lockups found in kernel 3.18 r4. The bad commit I believe is 4995ab9cf512e9a6cc07dfd6b1d4e2fc48ce7fef as it does touch the TLB code in the function that is most likely causing issues.

Did you test this theory or just do a simple search and make an
assumption? Did you test before and after reverting the patch?
You cant just make a statement without backing it up.

Have you actually confirmed this with a git bisect, and/or tested with this
commit reverted on a system that easily locks up, or have a good explanation
why the TLB code is at fault, or what function you think is most likely causing
issues, and why?
Bonus points for explaining *why* the code refactoring in that commit
is wrong.
/me makes popcorn. This should be interesting....
