Thank you very much for the very detailed response on the meaning of the oops - it was very educational for me. I did have one question, however. How were you able to identify the relevant section in the source code?

As Steven points out, this could be a bug in the overlayfs code. After getting a 2nd oops last night, I rebuilt 3.5.2 w/o overlafs in order to test that theory. Though I am unable to reproduce at will, 2 oopses in 60 hours suggests I should not have to wait too long for a verdict.
I will follow-up in a couple of days one way or the other.
