No, The above fix stopped the suspicious rcu dereference. I've found
another issue in the mlock() code which I've also fixed.. but I needed
to change my allocations from within the immap rwsem lock as it triggers
a potential lockdep issue on high memory usage - lockdep complains about
fs-reclaim lock. I've a patch set that works but I'm working through
making it bisectable. I think the easiest thing is to integrate these
fixes and the others sent to Andrew into a v8. I hope to have this done
by the end of the day tomorrow.

Thanks,
Liam
