This is easy to reproduce with:

3.17 works fine.
I bisected the issue multiple times and always arrived at
# first bad commit: [d6dd50e07c5bec00db2005969b1a01f8ca3d25ef] Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
which is a merge commit unfortunately.
The BUG encountered above is in:
1309 static struct vm_struct *__get_vm_area_node(unsigned long size,
1310 unsigned long align, unsigned long flags, unsigned long start,
1311 unsigned long end, int node, gfp_t gfp_mask, const void *caller)
1312 {
1313 struct vmap_area *va;
1314 struct vm_struct *area;
1315
1316 BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
1317 if (flags & VM_IOREMAP)
1318 align = 1ul << clamp(fls(size), PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER);
1319

Takashi -- 8< -- From: Takashi Iwai <redacted> Subject: [PATCH] net: ppp: Don't call bpf_prog_create() in ppp_lock In ppp_ioctl(), bpf_prog_create() is called inside ppp_lock, which eventually calls vmalloc() and hits BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c. This patch works around the problem by moving the allocation outside the lock.
