Yes. I think I have this one. It appears that the patch below is the trigger for all our recent panic woe's. The last of the testing should complete in the next few hours and I will be able to confirm that hypothesis; results so far are all good.
reduce-size-of-percpudata-and-make-sure-per_cpuobject.patch
From the nature of the patch I would guess its likely not the patch itself that is at issue but some errant user of percpu space. Perhaps a more gentle approach is needed such that we get to the point at which consoles are available and we can report the issue (at least as an option).
Eric can give us some help confirming whether there is an issue with the patch or finding the source of the errant access to it?
Cheers.
