There's a chance you are hitting a race fixed by

If it's still not fixed it might make sense to enable slab debugging -
we might have a use after free here.

I don't think the below commit has fixed this panic issue, for it is
included
in my last test environment(3.3-rc7).
4678d6f970c2f7c0cbfefc0cc666432d153b321b

Now, I'd find which commit makes sense.
Great, thanks very much. I do suggest slab debugging if
the race reproduces for you with it enabled - reducing
the chance random struct rearrangements hide the bug.


Much appreciated for suggesting :-)
I'll try it to locate the commit and backport it into rhel.
