Re: perf: perf_fuzzer crashing due to slab poison

[Vince Weaver]

I've updated both the haswell and skylake machine to stock 4.8-rc7
and both are still getting slab corruption in task_structs when running 
the perf_fuzzer.

On skylake:
[35484.208607] Slab corruption (Not tainted): task_struct start=ffffa181f19b6140, len=3648
[35484.216764] 010: 6a 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  jkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[35484.224534] Single bit error detected. Probably bad RAM.
[35484.229932] Run memtest86+ or a similar memory test tool.

On haswell it seems random which bug gets hit first, the task_struct slab
corruption one or the cgroup_attach hang.  This morning it hit the 
latter.
