Yes, there have been several memory-scribblish reports. Until this one's
found I'm not sure there's much we can do with them.
I'll do an overnight run with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, see if that catches
anything. Although AFAICT it just fixes the bug.
Beyond that, I'm rather stuck. I'd probably have to drop a pile of sched
patches, see if that improves things for people. But if we cannot spot a
bug in those patches then it's probably in mainline and it will bite
people in generally random and rare ways.
