Thanks for the quick response! I just noticed Andrew added this patch
to -mm tree:

------------------------------------------------------
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
Subject: mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configuration

What's the git tree your v2 patch based on? If you already had a git
tree, it'd be more simple to push it to a branch and tell me the
tree/branch/commit to test.

Thanks,
Fengguang
