This was bisected back to commit bfd40eaff5ab ("mm: fix
vma_is_anonymous() false-positives").
create_mspace_with_base() in the trace above, utilizes ashmem, and with
ashmem, for shared mappings we use shmem_zero_setup(), which sets the
vma->vm_ops to &shmem_vm_ops. But for private ashmem mappings nothing
sets the vma->vm_ops.
Looking at the problematic patch, it seems to add a requirement that one
call vma_set_anonymous() on a vma, otherwise the dummy_vm_ops will be
used. Using the dummy_vm_ops seem to triggger SIGBUS when traversing
unmapped pages.
Thus, this patch adds a call to vma_set_anonymous() for ashmem private
mappings and seems to avoid the reported problem.
Fixes: bfd40eaff5ab ("mm: fix vma_is_anonymous() false-positives")
