That's probably more than I would have expected, but strongly lends evidence to the theory that this is the problem. I certainly wouldn't expect a failure every time kblockd_schedule_work failed (in the original code), but the fact that it does fail sometimes means there is a possible race which can cause the failure that experienced. So I am optimistic that the patch will have fixed the problem. Please let me know when you reach an uptime of 3 days.
