Can you help bisect this, then?  I'm using Debian Testing, and the
default gcc is gcc 6.3.0.  I'm currently forcing the use of gcc 5.4.1
because I was running into problems with gcc 6.x a while back.  (TBH,
I was thinking about trying to see if gcc 6.3 was stable for kernel
compiles when I had some spare time.)  But I don't have access to
*any* gcc 4.x on my development system, and I don't think I've tried
using gcc 4.x in a long, Long, LONG time.

I'm currently kicking off a test run using 5.4.1 with KASAN enabled to
see if I can trigger it myself.  Can you send me a copy of your
.config so I can see what else might be interesting with your config?
(e.g., SLAB vs SLUB, etc.)

Thanks,
