In v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bcd7 ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") introduced vma merging to mbind(), but it should have also changed the convention of passing start vma from queue_pages_range() (formerly check_range()) to new_vma_page(): vma merging may have already freed that structure, resulting in BUG at mm/mempolicy.c:1738 and probably worse crashes.
