Dave, for some reason your oops is missing the first line. There
should have been something like
"Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer access at 00000001"
or something.
Anyway, the code decodes to
22: 48 8b 7a 08 mov 0x8(%rdx),%rdi
26: 48 85 ff test %rdi,%rdi
29: 74 09 je 0x34
2b:* f6 07 01 testb $0x1,(%rdi) <-- trapping instruction
and %rdi has the value "1". Which isn't NULL (so the test against
zero doesn't trigger), but obviously traps.
That *looks* like the test for
if (!tmp1 || rb_is_black(tmp1)) {
(the "testb $0x1,(%rdi)" is actually testing the low bit of the
"entry->__rb_tree_parent" pointer, and there's a subsequent "testb"
too, so it looks like one of the two cases where we look at the two
siblings and see if they are both NULL or black)

That's the "vfree was done in irq context, so we delay it into a
workqueue" worker.

.. and obviously the faulting address in CR2 is that invalid pointer "1".
The rbtree pointers have the two low bits reserved for color (only one
bit used - the low bit says whether it's red or black), so I'm
wondering if this is a "black NULL" pointer that hit some code
sequence that didn't properly mask off the color. But that really
shouldn't exist, afaik.
Perhaps just memory corruption (ie a NULL having been randomly
incremented to "1").
