Having reliable reproducer will be definitely something that is
nice to have. But bug could be some kind of race condition that happen
in code flow  once per 10000000000 cases ...

It could be possible fix. Why you can not simply patch and see if errors
are still there? If after a week or so there will be no errors, we could
consider bug fixed, otherwise well ... still will need looking around
for fix.

I just posted patch that remove these "plcp health check" and related
code on -next anyway, because I don't think this is something that we
need.
