Ouch.  Are you able to reproduce this?

Please set log_level=4 (via sysctl or module parameter), so that we have
more detailed messages next time this occurs.  (That log level is not
suitable for production use.  Please only use it while we debug this.)

It could also make sense to try reverting the below commit (which might
or might not be relevant), but we'd be more interested in having the
issue reproduced with intact LKRG and verbose logging first, as above.

    Improve performance for flag validation

Thanks,
