In production we've seen crashes on 6.18.7+ with the following
signature below. These machines have high memory pressure, were using
xfs file-systems, and generally journalctl was the comm when we oops.

After some crash-dump analysis we determined that this was a race
condition. We tried to create a more self-contained reproducer for this
issue, but unfortunately were unable to do so. This patch will be
applied internally as a mitigation for the issue, but will take time
to validate fully (ensuring we don't see crashes over a longer time). We
are looking for feedback to see if this could be a valid fix or if there
are other approaches that we should look into.

An earlier email I posted with some analysis is here
