The report is below.

I get it after a few seconds of running Trinity on a kernel with KTSAN
and targeting mlock, munlock and madvise syscalls.
Sasha also observed a very similar crash a while ago
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/6/1055).
I didn't manage to reproduce this in a kernel build without KTSAN though.
The idea was that data races KTSAN reports might be the explanation of
these crashes.
