This could happen if fault_around_bytes is set to 0. fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask() calls rounddown_pow_of_to(fault_around_bytes) The result of rounddown_pow_of_to is undefined if parameter == 0 (in my environment it returns 0x8000000000000000).Ouch. Good catch! Although, I'm not convinced that it caused the issue. Sasha, did you touch the debugfs handle?
I suppose trinity could change it, no? I've got the very same spew after setting fault_around_bytes to 0.

One way to fix this would be to return 0 from fault_around_pages() if fault_around_bytes == 0, however this would add extra code on fault path. So let's just forbid to set fault_around_bytes to zero. Fault around is not used if fault_around_pages() <= 1, so if anyone doesn't want to use it, fault_around_bytes could be set to any value in range [1, 2*PAGE_SIZE - 1] instead of 0.quoted
From user point of view, 0 is perfectly fine. What about untested patchbelow?
In case if we are not going to get rid of debugfs interface I would better keep faul_around_bytes always roundded down, like in following patch:
