Hello again! We've had a rare crash that's existed between 3.10.0 and 3.10.15 at least (trying newer stables now, but I can't tell if it was fixed, and it takes weeks to reproduce).
Unfortunately I can only get 8k back from pstore. The panic looks a bit longer than that is caught in the log, but the bottom part is almost always this same trace as this one: Panic#6 Part1 <4>[1197485.199166] [<ffffffff81611e8c>] tcp_push+0x6c/0x90 <4>[1197485.199171] [<ffffffff816160a9>] tcp_sendmsg+0x109/0xd40 <4>[1197485.199179] [<ffffffff81114b65>] ? put_page+0x35/0x40 <4>[1197485.199185] [<ffffffff8163bf75>] inet_sendmsg+0x45/0xb0 <4>[1197485.199191] [<ffffffff8159da7e>] sock_aio_write+0x11e/0x130 <4>[1197485.199196] [<ffffffff8163b83f>] ? inet_recvmsg+0x4f/0x80 <4>[1197485.199203] [<ffffffff811558ad>] do_sync_readv_writev+0x6d/0xa0 <4>[1197485.199209] [<ffffffff8115722b>] do_readv_writev+0xfb/0x2f0 <4>[1197485.199215] [<ffffffff8110fda5>] ? __free_pages+0x35/0x40 <4>[1197485.199220] [<ffffffff8110fe56>] ? free_pages+0x46/0x50 <4>[1197485.199226] [<ffffffff8112f9e2>] ?

Any help would be appreciated :) I'll do what I can to help, but iterating this particular crash is very hard due to the amount of time it takes to reproduce. Since we have a large number of machines they're always crashing here and there, but once they do it's not going to happen again for a while.
