Unfortunately I haven't found a way to reproduce it so the only option
would be to do this on a live server. However, the performance impact I
believe is going to be very prohibitive :(. Alternatively what I could
do is probably leave merging on but enable debugging only for the
kmalloc-32 slab cache. Do you think this would provide enough
information to help track the corruption when it happens, without
impacting performance?
