Hi, *Sorry I forgot to turn HTML off in my previous message. Resending it again. I have a Bluedio T+3 Bluetooth Headset that contains the HSP/HFP, A2DP and AVRCP profiles. I am using kernel version 4.1.27 with BlueZ 5.40. I have paired with the headset using bluetoothctl. After I have paired with the device, I receive kernel oops message in the console. Nonetheless, the system does not crash and I was able to configure it to play audio. Hence, it is a soft kernel panic. There are no issues to the Bluetooth audio streaming. The steps that I have taken are as follows: $ pulseaudio -D $ bluetoothctl $ scan on (search for Bluetooth addresses) $ pair <BT_HEADSET_MAC> $ connect <BT_HEADSET_MAC> (from this point on, the kernel displays kernel oops messages) Please see the output as follows: Kernel oops message (notice the segfault): [ 1611.091465] pulseaudio[1270]: segfault at 694be0 ip 0000000000694be0 sp 00007ffe1b0b0158 error 15 [ 1627.873788] input: 16:01:14:24:15:59 as /devices/virtual/input/input9 [ 1627.892687] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1627.899990] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 438 at /home/ilab/development/yocto_build/build/tmp/work-shared/intel-corei7-64-cavs-hda/kernel-source/lib/debugobjects.c:263 debug_print_object+0x89/0xb0() [ 1627.921000] ODEBUG: assert_init not available (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: stub_timer+0x0/0x20 [ 1627.934530] Modules linked in: uinput 8021q cmac ecb rfcomm bnep snd_hda_codec_hdmi fuse btusb btbcm btintel bluetooth hid_sensor_gyro_3d hid_sensor_als hid_sensor_accel_3d hid_sensor_press hid_sensor_incl_3d hid_sensor_trigger hid_sensor_iio_common hid_sensor_custom hid_sensor_hub mei_dal intel_spi_platform intel_spi sbi_apl intel_ishtp_hid mwifiex_usb mwifiex_pcie mwifiex cfg80211 i915 iTCO_wdt igb pcspkr iTCO_vendor_support lpc_ich spi_pxa2xx_platform mei_me mei portmux_intel_drcfg i2c_i801 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec dca snd_hda_core intel_ish_ipc intel_ishtp thermal tpm_crb tpm_tis tpm intel_pmc_ipc rtc_cmos [ 1628.002994] CPU: 3 PID: 438 Comm: kworker/u9:11 Tainted: G U W 4.1.27apollolake #2 [ 1628.015045] Hardware name: Intel Corp.

This lead me to some findings which I found in the following link. They encounter crashing/segfault when connecting to a Samsung Gear Circle. This was the closest to my issue. The difference being is that I do not encounter any crashes in the Linux system. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/60329 May I know how can I narrow down to find the root cause of this issue and also to prevent this from happening?
