Comment:

 Lets characterise this bug according to this particular failure on 13.2.0
 build 9:

 {{{
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address XYZ
 PC is at free_block
 LR is at drain_array
 Process kworker (running the cache_reap task)
 }}}

 often seen a few seconds after resume.

 According to those criteria we have 2 occurances shown here and one more
 at 12688#comment:41

 This seems like random memory corruption which first shows its face when a
 periodic cache reaping task is executed.
