Small comment:

We might be dealing with 2 different situations/bugs for the two
different stack traces we got (possible race condition / deadlock for
the ext4 page flush for high memory pressure AND kmem_cache_alloc trying
to access wrong addresses)...

As I said, investigating both and checking if they can be correlated.
