Does the issue still happen with rc4? Could you apply the 3 attached
patches (work in progress), configure-enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER and boot kernel with debug_pagealloc=on page_owner=on
parameters? That should print stacktraces of allocation and first
freeing (assuming this is a double free).
