Oh, that's interesting. So only 12 out of 74 runs saw that __vunmap
warning, but if I understand your table correctly, there were some
_other_ issues in there?

Are those also for that same commit? (ie those RIP:kfree /
RIP:kobject_add_internal / etc)?

I'm not sure how to read that table of yours - if I understand it
correctly, it looks like the parent commit had some different ones
that the child did not (eg 2 cases of BUG_at_mm/usercopy.c?)

So it feels to me like there's some memory corruption somewhere, and
that commit that it bisected to likely just changed the failure case
(due to timing differences or allocation ordering changes).

IOW, there seem to be other panics even in the parent.

Yes/No?
