Well I should have looked ahead -- at least the 3 references to 100f26 appear to be the call to panic(): > > #0 [9d7d37a8] __machine_kexec at 11d4fa > > #1 [9d7d37f0] smp_switch_to_ipl_cpu at 116ebe > > #2 [9d7d3860] machine_kexec at 11d49c > > #3 [9d7d3890] crash_kexec at 19ab26 > > #4 [9d7d3960] panic at 5af192 > > #5 [9d7d3a08] die at 100f26 > > #6 [9d7d3a70] do_no_context at 11e910 > > #7 [9d7d3aa8] do_protection_exception at 5b551a > > #8 [9d7d3bc0] pgm_exit at 5b34b8 > > PSW: 0404100180000000 0000000000402d04 (sysrq_handle_crash+16) > > GPRS: 0000000000010000 00000000009c8c74 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 > > 00000000005af34e 00000000009c90e4 000000000091d3b0 0000000000a67960 > > 070000000016b628 0000000000000001 0000000000959530 0000000000000063 > > 00000000009596d0 0000000000606c60 000000000040309c 000000009d7d3d08 > > #0 [9d7d3d70] process_one_work at 166abe > > #1 [9d7d3dd8] worker_thread at 1672da > > #2 [9d7d3e50] kthread at 1705b6 > > #3 [9d7d3eb8] kernel_thread_starter at 5b2e3a So I still cannot come up with a possible explanation of how there could possibly be multiple instances of it (beyond the dumb luck theory...)
