kdump is a best-effort thing, it looks like this is a case where the
crashed-kernel can't tear itself down.

Do you have the rest of the stack trace? Was it handling an irq when it decided
to panic?:

I don't know much about irqchip stuff, but __irq_get_desc_lock() takes a
raw_spin_lock(), and calls gic_irq_get_irqchip_state() which is just poking
around in mmio registers, this should all be safe unless you re-entered the same
code.

Is there a hardware difference around the interrupt controller on these?

My understanding is this is to reset all interrupts so the new kernel doesn't
spend its first waking minutes declaring all these pending interrupts as
spurious as the device drivers haven't (re-)claimed them yet.

I don't know if/how this is done on 32bit.

(USB?!)

I'm not sure what these 'struct irq_chip' outside drivers/irqchip are,
presumably irq-controllers can be nested, and devices believe they are interrupt
controllers too.

This looks like yours is actually a network chip on the other end of a usb bus.
Any configuration attempt involves taking mutexs, allocating memory and sitting
on a wait queue until the response comes, (all relying on a different kind of
interrupt).

So for this network-irqcontroller-chip its not safe to call
irq_set_irqchip_state() from irq context. (you also survived taking a mutex and
allocating a few buffers before hitting the wait queue).

I'm not sure how this should be fixed, but as suggested on that irqchip thread
above, having a irqchip-specific separate 'reset' API could do something more
drastic than trying to modify the configuration, which requires these
locks/memory-allocation.

What was going on just before this NULL deference? This looks like CPU0's idle
thread stack, which rules out another irq.


Thanks,
