Ok. But there are some interesting clues there, so if you see it again, please provide the System.map and .config and I'll take another look. What really has me confused is why the worker_thread() stack seems so big. According to the stack dumps, worker_thread() had a stack size of 1368 bytes, but when I build with your .config, it's only 208 bytes. Other interesting features of this corruption: - always after kthread() called worker_thread() - always the same value written, presumably the address of __lock_acquire() - always to the same offset on the stack (the location of the frame pointer pushed by worker_thread()) ... so it's not exactly random memory corruption. In fact it looks like "normal" stack corruption. But then again, KASAN is enabled, which should catch most cases of stack corruption (buffer overflows). -- Josh
