Perhaps I'm just not doing enough computing stuff between startup and shutdown to create the conditions under which I got the oopses this morning. Moreover, I've been using this kernel every day with, maybe two or three shutdowns a day, for two weeks or so now (since just after Linus went on vacation) with no oopses. (The kernel is -rc3 + John Fastabend's "net: fix deliver_no_wcard regression on loopback device" patch). I'll spend a couple of hours doing stuff and see if I can generate an oops. Trouble is, of course, that when I pull and build the latest and greatest, I won't know why I'm not getting oopses, assuming I don't. I'll update y'all later.
