Submitter sent bug report, it seems no kernel developer ever bothered
to answer.

The unresponsive side is not the submitter.

My impression of both bugs is that not that Alexey was unresponsive but 
that noone else was able to reproduce it.

  erk.  It'll make me a week to bisect this.  I suppose I can plod away
  at it in the background, but I won't be able to do that until the end
  of this month.


And "repeatable slab corruption" is not exactly a good regression
to ignore...
