The problem can occur with any application as stated by Boris Ostrovsky

------------
"This can be easily triggered by Linux' page-types
(tools/vm/page-types.c) after save/restore.

All it does is it walks the page tables (in fs/proc/task_mmu.c) and
eventually trips on bad page. For example:

# /page-types -p 2273 -L> /tmp/new
[ 2634.501440] pfn 0x159f75 highest_memmap_pfn=0x3ffff
[ 2634.502345] BUG: Bad page map in process page-types pte:159f75420
pmd:3178a067
"
Which means that any application should be able to trigger this depending
on whether 'mprotect' was doing its stuff and migration happend.
