It looks like that pte pointer is invalid in do_fault_around().
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.

From user point of view, 0 is perfectly fine. What about untested patch
below?
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:

Subject: [PATCH] mm: debugfs: move rounddown_pow_of_two() out from do_fault
 path

do_fault_around expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest
page order. Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time
in fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down
when user changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface.

This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0.
Result of rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore
fault_around_bytes == 0 doesn't work without this patch.

Let's set fault_around_bytes to PAGE_SIZE if user sets to something
less than PAGE_SIZE
