Hello,

I found this commit here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/11700

Applied:
# patch -p1 < ../ed2888e906b56769b4ffabb9c577190438aa68b8.txt 
patching file drivers/pci/probe.c

I will update this thread if the problem recurs, can someone also please advise
which DEBUG options I should have enabled to catch further SLAB/RCU issues?

So far, I have the following enabled:

CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y

Thanks,

Justin.
