2.6.22-rc5-yesterdaygit with VM debug: BUG in mm/rmap.c:66: anon_vma_link ?

[Petr Vandrovec <petr@vmware.com>]

Hello,
  to catch some memory corruption bug in our code I've modified malloc 
to do mmap + mprotect - which has unfortunate effect that it creates 
thousands and thousands of VMAs.  Everything works (though rather slowly 
on kernel with CONFIG_VM_DEBUG) until application does fork() - kernel 
crashes on fork() because copy_process()'s anon_vma_link complains that 
it could not find anon vma after walking through 100000 elements of anon 
list - which seems strange, as I did not touch system wide limit (which 
is 65536 vmas), and mprotect()s started failing after creating 65536 
vmas, as expected.

Full output of test program and full kernel dmesg are at 
http://buk.vc.cvut.cz/linux/rmap.
					Thanks,
						Petr Vandrovec
