The reason I was asking for the commit ID is because I saw that clone_endio()
occurs in the oops which means that the dm driver is involved. An important fix
for the dm driver went upstream recently, namely d37753540568 ("dm: Use kzalloc
for all structs with embedded biosets/mempools"). Can you double check whether
that commit it present in your tree? If it is not present, please update to the
latest master and retest. If it is present, please report how to reproduce
this oops to Kent Overstreet, Jens Axboe, linux-block and Mike Snitzer.

Thanks,

Bart.
