So, I've had an exciting evening armed with ftrace and a kernel debugger. I'm questioning my own sanity a bit here, but I'm fairly sure at this point that setting ftrace going and loading the kernel debugging module (I'm using kgdboe here because I'm on AWS) stop whatever the issue is from happenin

For clarity here: I have not tested 15.04 and I can entirely believe that the issue doesn't appear on that version. I'm testing the specified kernel versions on Ubuntu 15.10 and the issue is reliably reproducible. It doesn't seem to depend on whether swap is enabled or how full the RAM is; large (~

I've found that how easy it is to reproduce varies somewhat - some versions it's triggered at almost any file manipulation, others I've had to copy a couple of large files around at the same time or otherwise increase disk access while moving large files - but I can reproduce it absolutely consiste

It's crashing on boot with this version. It's related to paging, so it might be relevant to the issue, so I've attached the full dmesg and here's the actual crash: [3.716345] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 60ffc0002370 [3.720056] IP: [] mem_cgroup_move_account+0xd1/0x25
