Observing Kernel oops and machine reboots while executing memory hotplug
test case, on Power8 Baremetal machine.

I see this is introduced some where between rc6 and 4.17.

Please provide the exact versions (git commit IDs) of the kernel versions
you have tested.

Commit Id ---> 5037be168f

The reason I was asking for the commit ID is because I saw that 
clone_endio()
occurs in the oops which means that the dm driver is involved. An 
important fix
for the dm driver went upstream recently, namely d37753540568 ("dm: Use 
kzalloc
for all structs with embedded biosets/mempools"). Can you double check 
whether
that commit it present in your tree? If it is not present, please 
update to the
latest master and retest. If it is present, please report how to 
reproduce
this oops to Kent Overstreet, Jens Axboe, linux-block and Mike Snitzer.

Thanks,

Bart.

Yes, the fix is present in the tree, which I have tested.

Steps to reproduce:

Step1: Clone and Install avocado git clone 
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado.git
Step2: Clone 
https://github.com/avocado-framework-tests/avocado-misc-tests.git
        Test case is 
https://github.com/avocado-framework-tests/avocado-misc-tests/blob/master/memory/memhotplug.py
Step3: Command to run the test is avocado run 
avocado-misc-tests/memory/memhotplug.py
