No, I think we're good. I suspect this is a different issue. Do you have
lockdep enabled, along with mutex and spinlock debugging etc? That might
help pinpoint what triggers this.

But I think the fact that you are apparently not able to get the list
corruption is a good sign. Of course, it might just be harder to trigger,
and these things could all be a sign of a different bug, but my gut feel
is that we did fix something, and you are just damn good at stressing the
new code. Kudos.
