Hi Guys,

When I run stress-ng via the following steps on one ARM64 dual
socket system(Cavium Thunder), the kernel oops[1] can often be
triggered after running the stress test for several hours(sometimes
it may take longer):

- git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/cking/stress-ng.git
- apply the attachment patch which just makes the posix file
lock stress test more aggressive
- run the test via '~/git/stress-ng$./stress-ng --lockf 128 --aggressive'

From the oops log, looks one garbage file_lock node is got

from the linked list of 'ctx->flc_posix' when the issue happens.

BTW, the issue isn't observed on single socket Cavium Thunder yet,
and the same issue can be seen on Ubuntu Xenial(v4.4 based kernel)
too.

Thanks,
Ming
