Subject: [bug] SLOB crash, 2.6.24-rc2

there's a new SLOB regression - the attached config crashes with:

[   61.245190] rc.sysinit used greatest stack depth: 1680 bytes left
[   61.386859] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (407d973c), but was 418cf818. (prev=41877098).
[   61.396328] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   61.400910] kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:33!
[   61.405330] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

looks like memory corruption of some sort and it's reproducible. Picking 
CONFIG_SLUB makes the crash go away. Booting v2.6.23 with the same 
.config works fine.

bisection is difficult due to networking releated Kconfig problems: if i 
put my .24 .config into .23 then the network drivers get lost. (we 
should be more Kconfig-compatible between kernel releases, to ease 
bisection efforts)

(full bootlog and config attached)
