That patch was made to address speed, and lifetime of network stack
objects.  At best it will make things go faster (a good thing), and
reduce the memory consumption during a test (another good thing).
The patch you point to will not correct your memory corruption.

So right now the best hypothesis seems to be Dmitriy's idea that
there is stack overflow causing corruption. You have a lot of stack
debugging already enabled but I don't see CONFIG_VMAP_STACK enabled
which might catch something ordinary stack overflow checking won't.

Any chance you can enable CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and see if it is stack
overflow?

With a little luck you will catch the stack overflow in the act and we
can see the problematic code path.
