That patch fixes a different problem. The assertion shouldn't have been
made for hugetlbfs regions. I can only assume we are not triggering the
same problem.  According to your .config, DEBUG_VM is not even set so
this is some other problem.

Do you know what line triggered the problem? Eric Munson is currently
investigating this as I'm chasing down another bug but my understanding is that
right now he can't reproduce the problem. How reproducible is this for you?
I cannot recreate this consistently. Sometimes i am able to recreate , but it's random. I have
seen this problem on 2 out of 4 power boxes.

Here are last few lines from the hugetlbfs test run.

get_huge_pages (32):    PASS
get_huge_pages (64):    PASS
quota (32):     PASS
quota (64):     PASS
counters (32):  PASS

mmap-gettest 10 20 (64):        PASS
mmap-cow 19 20 (32):    PASS
mmap-cow 19 20 (64):    PASS

shm-fork 10 10 (32):    PASS
shm-fork 10 10 (64):    PASS
shm-fork 10 20 (32):    

shm-fork was executed when the oops occurred.
