Hi, Nicholas:
I met a problem like this:
[ 67.103584] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 67.103884] kernel BUG at vmalloc.c:2892!
[ 67.104387] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] SMP
[ 67.104942] Process insmod (pid: 1161, stack limit = 0x(____ptrval____))
[ 67.105356] CPU: 2 PID: 1161 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O

[ 67.106285] pc : free_vm_area+0x78/0x80
[ 67.106549] lr : free_vm_area+0x58/0x80
it looks like when __vmalloc_area_node failed, the area is already released,
and the free_vm_area
will release the vm area again, so trigger the problem.
3405 ret = remove_vm_area(area->addr);
3406 BUG_ON(ret != area);
3407 kfree(area);
