We had similar reports in the past that disappeared when adding
"slab_nomerge" to boot parameters. We suspect a memory corruption from
another part of kernel on 64bytes kmemcache objects.

In 2.6.37, inetpeer code uses 64bytes objects. Using slab_nomerge and
SLUB allocator (as you already do), makes sure inetpeer kmemcache wont
be shared by other 64bytes objects in kernel.

Of course, the right option name is slub_nomerge

                        Disable merging of slabs with similar size. May be
                        necessary if there is some reason to distinguish
                        allocs to different slabs. Debug options disable
                        merging on their own.
