Thanks for the report!
In debug_alloc_profiling.log I see:

[    7.445127] percpu: limit reached, disable warning

That's probably the reason. I'll take a closer look at the cause of
that and how we can fix it.

Thanks!


  In qemu-alloc3.log I see couple of warnings:

[    1.111620] alloc_tag was not set
[    1.111880] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 164 at
include/linux/alloc_tag.h:118 kfree (./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:118

mm/slub.c:2043 ...

[    1.161710] alloc_tag was not cleared (got tag for fs/squashfs/cache.c:413)
[    1.162289] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 195 at

./include/linux/alloc_tag.h:149 (discriminator 1) ...

Which means we missed to instrument some allocation. Can you please
check if disabling CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG fixes QEMU case?
In the meantime I'll try to reproduce and fix this.
Thanks,
Suren.

That does seem to be the case from what I can tell. I didn't get the warning in qemu consistently, but it hasn't reappeared for a number of times at least with the debugging option off.
