 Yes, I am not entirely sure if the kernel had the time to unmap the memory.
Right after triggering the crash the kdump kernel is booted and I see the following

[ 2.050145] optee: probing for conduit method. 
[ 2.054743] optee: revision 3.6 (f84427aa) 
[ 2.054821] optee: dynamic shared memory is enabled 
[ 2.066186] optee: initialized driver 

Could this be previous un-released maps causing corruption?

Thanks.
