Re: [PATCH 6.10 000/809] 6.10.3-rc3 review

[ Let's drop random people and bring in Vlastimil ]

Vlastimil,
 it turns out that the "this patch" is entirely a red herring, and the
problem comes and goes randomly with just some code layout issues. See

   http://server.roeck-us.net/qemu/parisc64-6.10.3/

for more detail, particularly you'll see the "log.bad.gz" with the full log.

See also

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/87y15a4p4h.ffs@tglx/

for this thread.

I don't think this is really a slub issue, since it only happens on
parisc, but maybe you can see what would make parisc different, and
what could possibly make it all timing- or layout-dependent.
