kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:412!
Are you by any chance in this test sending signals to the fuzzer?

If so, the bug I just fixed in floppy driver can cause all kinds of memory 
corruptions in case you're running multithreaded accessess to /dev/fd0 and 
sending singals to the threads that are trying to access /dev/fd0 at the 
same time.

Could you please double check that the other floppy fix I've sent you a 
couple days ago doesn't fix this as well? (this test makes sense only if 
signals are involved though).

Thanks,
