It was a different corruption this time, see below. This time > we don't even have a page table, PGD is 0, rIP is 1. (Fun :-)) Hmm, you had: - RIP=0 in the original report (start_this_handle) - RIP=0 in the second (mutex_lock_nested in ext4) - RIP=1 now The more interesting one is the other one which doesn't have a small RIP, because it has RIP that is slightly larger than the stack pointer, meaning it's likely a frame pointer. And this means in turn that the call trace is correct, and the bug might have happened closer to the actual corruption.

The last thing I need from you (hopefully) is a Kconfig. If you have some time, it would be great to check if you can reproduce it with an older kernel version---trying 4.4-rc1 and 4.3 would be great.
