I got your .config off-list, thanks Knut!

It has all DEBUG_OBJECT options enabled:

CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_SELFTEST is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_PERCPU_COUNTER=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_ENABLE_DEFAULT=1

but it also has DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled:

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y

I'd suggest disabling that one - it kind of overlaps debugobjects
and it will definitely be a big slowdown.

I'd also suggest turning off lockdep for now:

CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y

because we know it does not trigger any useful warning. This too
should speed up things a bit.

Whether this would make the crash reproducable again I don't know
:-/

Thanks,

Ingo
