Interesting. I am wondering if its not a per_cpu problem, or another
problem uncovered by lockless allocator ?
Old values of cmpxchg16b() :
RAX = ffff88003f8020c0 , RDX = 1
New values
RBX = ffff88003f802180 , RCX = 2
address : RSI = ffff88003ffc2020
RSI is supposed to be a dynamic percpu addr
Yet this value seems pretty outside of pcpu pools
CR2: ffff87ffc1fdd020
On my machine, if I add this patch to display cpu_slab values :
diff --git a/mm/slub.c b/mm/slub.c
index f881874..3b118f3 100644

s->cpu_slab = alloc_percpu(struct kmem_cache_cpu);
#endif

if (!s->cpu_slab)
return 0;
I get following traces :
First ones are allocated from the static pcpu area (zero based)
Looks consistent with :
