I'm seeing warnings/explosions while exercising box IFF PARTIAL slab thingy is enabled. I aborted -PARTIAL after a little over 4 hours, whereas the longest survival of 4 +PARTIAL runs was 50 minutes, so I'm fairly confident that PARTIAL really really is the trigger. My reproducer is a keep box busy loop of parallel kbuild along with alternating ltp::controllers (sans swap-from-hell bits), ltp::zram and hackbench. The warning may or may not trigger before box explodes.
