Steffen,

Is there any chance you could test that using SLAB instead of SLUB?
I haven't manage to reproduce it yet, but I am working on some theories
about why this is happening. If I could at least know if this is likely
a cache problem vs a inner-memcg problem, that would help. The calltrace
is not incredibly helpful, but it does indicate that the problem happens
when freeing cache objects.
