Thanks Ayush,
According to this address,
4c 8b af 50 09 00 00 mov 0x950(%rdi),%r13 <--- r13 = p->mm;
49 8b bd 98 04 00 00 mov 0x498(%r13),%rdi <--- p->mm->owner
It seems that this task to be swapped has NULL mm_struct.
Does the following help?

Hello Chenyu,
This issue is reported even on IBM Power servers.
Proposed fix works fine. Hence,

Thank you for the test. May I know if you could help
check if v4 works without any NULL pointer exception?
