So that's probably related. On commit 7a308bb3016f57e5be11a677d15b821536419d36 (Jan 22). I also have some local kvm-related changes on top to fix/silence known kvm bugs, but hey should be unrealted: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/fab99e9750bd93eefdab90418f04ea3d/raw/86a4e1475d73e8447782da6dc1824b2b7b31fa9e/gistfile1.txt FTR, this was reproduced by running 150 of the following programs in parallel in a VM with 512MB of memory: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/cdf6dd9f7dbf9b207f836eac088dc11d/raw/686d73ec312492428bedd9f6438f28a7f559a916/gistfile1.txt
