Hello Paul,

Thank you for your response.

Can you give us hint what does this panic indicate? A random kernel memory 
corruption? An improper use of an RCU primitive? A hardware issue?

This happened only once in one of the production systems, and we don't have 
a reproduction scenario unfortunately.

Thanks,
Alex.

New one on me!  If this is reproducible, and if you have some other
version where it is not happening, do a bisection.  If you have a set
of patches that you carry on top of the stable kernel (for example, to
support some new hardware), try reproducing on hardware that is supported
natively by 3.18.19.  Either way, CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD can be
helpful, as can any number of other debugging Kconfig options.

Thanx, Paul
