Ok, thus the above program triggers two bugs:

- a huge memory leak with semaphore arrays

- under OOM pressure, an oops.


1) I can reproduce the memory leak, it happens all the time :-(

I must look what is wrong.

2) regarding the crash:

What differs under oom pressure?

- kvmalloc can fall back to vmalloc()

- the 2nd or 3rd of multiple allocations can fail, and that triggers a 
rare codepath/race condition.

- rcu callback can happen earlier that expected


So far, I didn't notice anything unexpected :-(
