HW glitch is theoretically possible. But if we are considering such causes, I would say a kernel memory corruption is way more likely, we have hundreds of known memory-corruption-capable bugs open. In most cases they are caught by KASAN before doing silent damage. But KASAN can miss some cases. I see at least 4 existing bugs with similar stack: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=bfdded10ab7dcd7507ae https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a7ab8df042baaf42ae3c https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=c814a55a728493959328551c769ede4c8ff72aab https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=426ad9adca053dafcd698f3a48ad5406dccc972b All in all, I would not assume it's a memory corruption. When we had bugs that actually caused silent memory corruption, that caused a spike of random one-time crashes all over the kernel. This does not look like it.
