yes, there are.

yes. the 1st column (fail:runs) is for parent,
the 3rd colum (fail:runs) is for e47110e905

> RIP:kobject_add_internal / etc)?

the RIP:kfree happens just after __vunmap warning (as attached dmesg):

RIP:kobject_add_internal happens on both commits after more runs,
but much lower happen rate than __vunmap (or kfree) on e47110e905.

yes, the parent has some different ones that e47110e905 did not have
(below there is a full table after we run both parent and the e47110e905
more times which has more details)

> that the child did not (eg 2 cases of BUG_at_mm/usercopy.c?)

after more runs, the BUG_at_mm/usercopy.c is also reproduced on e47110e905

Yes. we also concerned that the panics on parent could cover the __vunmap issue,
so we ran it up to almost 1000 times.

BTW, we noticed the e91d8d7823 ("mm/zsmalloc.c: drop ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING")
is a fix for e47110e90584, so we also tested it, as well as the v5.12-rc8,
found the issue still exists though lower happen rate.
