I suspect a mem corruption from another layer (not inetpeer)

Unfortunately many kmem caches share the "64 bytes" cache.

Could you please add "slub_nomerge" on your boot command ?

...


-Is there a very severe impact on performance ?

not at all

Maybe there is an impact after all : since then, we don't have problems anymore !

linkwood:~# uptime
11:42:03 up 39 days, 17:08, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.05

So... could slub_nomerge hide or simply avoid the problem ?
Or are we just lucky this time ?
