While debugging another issue i noticed that the stack trace contains one invalid entry at the end: <idle>-0 [008] d..4. 26.484201: wake_lat: pid=0 delta=2629976084 000000009cc24024 stack=STACK: => __schedule+0xac6/0x1a98 => schedule+0x126/0x2c0 => schedule_timeout+0x150/0x2c0 => kcompactd+0x9ca/0xc20 => kthread+0x2f6/0x3d8 => __ret_from_fork+0x8a/0xe8 => 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b This is because the code failed to add the one element containing the number of entries to field_size.
