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?
