Sorry, one more entry:

00000000000000f0 dentry.d_op (Zdenek, offset ? around 136)

Zdenek's is at offset 184.

00f0000000000000 dentry.d_hash.next (me, offset 24)
ffff81f02003f16c dentry.d_name.name (me, offset 56)
memory ORed by 000000f000000000
fffff0002004c1b0 file.f_mapping (me, offset 176)
memory hole, it was something like
(ffff81002004c1b0 & ~00000f0000000000) | 0000f00000000000?
ffffffffffffffff dentry.d_hash.next (Rafael, offset ? around 24)
-1, ~0ULL

Are these running with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU? Grasping at straws, but
there are a couple of patches that need to move from -rt to mainline,
but mostly related to SELinux. So if both PREEMPT_RCU and SELinux
were in use, we might be missing "rcu-various-fixups.patch" from:

$ grep RCU .config
CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU=y
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set
$ grep SECU .config
# CONFIG_EXT4DEV_FS_SECURITY is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is not set

I guess not.

BTW the corruption I mentioned earlier was char 'ð' and it's ('p' | 0xf0) in latin2. I think it was set_ðending_irq IIRC. Whatever, it won't help us.
