Title:
  Writing to GPT partition on NVM device triggers "Kernel BUG"

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I try writing a large amount of data to a GPT partition on my NVM
  SSD using dd, after a second or so I get "kernel BUG" messages in
  dmesg, and the writing comes to a halt. The machine remains responsive
  and I can write to other disks, but if I run "sync", it hangs forever.

  The bug is 100 % repeatable. To replicate, run:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1p1

  This happens only when I write more than 0.5-1.5 GiB to a GPT
  partition on the NVM device. The bug does not happen in the following
  cases:

  - writing just 500 MB on a GPT partition
  - writing to the raw device (/dev/nvme0n1)
  - writing to a DOS partition (i.e. when the NVM device is using a DOS style 
partition table)

  The device in question is a 1 TB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD.
  Ubuntu release: 17.04

  I have dmesg logs available of four instances of this happening, with
  very similar stack traces. I will be happy to experiment and provide
  any additional information you may need.
