Hi,

I just wondered if the below type of crash was a known thing, and if
there are any obvious things I can do to prevent/fix it ?

BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, kswapd0/242 (Not tainted)
lock: c06c9380, .magic: c06c9380, .owner:
[<c06eba2a>] _raw_spin_lock+0x1a/0xd9
[<c061e72f>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0xd
[<c041febf>] __wake_up+0x18/0x43
[<c04379ce>] __wake_up_bit+0x2e/0x33
[<c045a496>] shrink_inactive_list+0x483/0x6c9

RAM issues are a possibility for this sort of problem, tried running Memtest86+?
