Understood Tao. That makes sense to me now. To verify this, I moved the faulty code to a separate function and called that helper function from my module_init function and that indeed produced the expected results. [...] #12 [ffff800082b8ba40] helper at ffff80007a7e003c [npdereference] #13 [ffff800082b8ba60] _MODULE_INIT_TEXT_START_npdereference at ffff80007a7e6024 [npdereference] #14 [ffff800082b8bac0] do_one_initcall at ffff800080014db0 #15 [ffff800082b8baf0] do_init_module at ffff80008011ee14 #16 [ffff800082b8bc30] load_module at ffff800080120ed8 #17 [ffff800082b8bd20] init_module_from_file at ffff8000801211bc [...] And post loading the module, "sym" pin-pointed to the exact faulty location.
