Correct, I was not using KASAN. I use it only for testing -rc kernels or when I
am particularly wary. This memory corruption I noticed during regular usage.
Seems running the kernel with slub_debug=FZP page_poison=1 is a good thing. ;)

Thanks, that did the trick! With CONFIG_LOWMEM_SIZE=0x28000000 the memory
corruption is gone on VMAP_STACK enabled kernels. Tested it additionally on
current 5.16.4 where this works too.
