You may try debugging patches I posted a while ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=131914560820378&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=131914560820293&w=2

With a bit of luck, kernel should panic and dump call-trace when
bad code start to write at memory addresses where is not suppose
to.
You have to compile kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and add
corrupt_dbg=1 to catch memory corruption. However that may not
work if you have small amount of memory.
Also would be good to enable other debug options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_ENABLE_DEFAULT=1
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y
