For reference, this is in cache_alloc_refill:

                /*
                 * The slab was either on partial or free list so
                 * there must be at least one object available for
                 * allocation.
                 */
                BUG_ON(slabp->inuse >= cachep->num);    <==== here

in a callchain (from the photograph)

        system_call_fastpath ->
         sys_shmat ->
         do_shmat ->
         kmem_cache_alloc_trace ->
         ____cache_alloc+0x133

Is it reproducible?  Do you remember what you were doing at the time
(aside from webbrowsing)?  Any hunches or other weird symptoms?

Right, that's about a driver that wasn't merged yet, so it can only
give a sense of what kind of corruption can cause this kind of thing.

Thanks for reporting.
