Added more relevant people. I've debugged the immediate problem below, but I think there's another problem that actually triggered this.

Those "other changes" are (again) the interrupt retrigger code that was reverted for 4.10, and then we tried to merge them again this merge window. Because the immediate cause is: > [ 4.666675] EIP: serial_ir_irq_handler+0x189/0x410 > [ 4.666675] Call Trace: > [ 4.666675] <IRQ> > [ 4.666675] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x57/0x100 > [ 4.666675] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x1d/0x50 > [ 4.666675] handle_irq_event+0x32/0x60 > [ 4.666675] handle_edge_irq+0xa5/0x120 > [ 4.666675] handle_irq+0x9d/0xd0 > [ 4.666675] </IRQ> > [ 4.666675] do_IRQ+0x5f/0x130 > [ 4.666675] common_interrupt+0x33/0x38 > [ 4.666675] EIP: hardware_init_port+0x3f/0x190 > [ 4.666675] EFLAGS: 00200246 CPU: 0 > [ 4.666675] EAX: c718990f EBX: 00000000 ECX: 00000000 EDX: 000003f9 > [ 4.666675] ESI: 000003f9 EDI: 000003f8 EBP: c0065d98 ESP: c0065d84 > [ 4.666675] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 > [ 4.666675] serial_ir_probe+0xbb/0x300 > [ 4.666675] platform_drv_probe+0x48/0xb0 ... ie an interrupt came in immediately after the request_irq(), before all the data was properly set up, which then causes the interrupt handler to take a fault because it tries to access some field that hasn't even been set up yet. The code line is helpful, the faulting instruction is mov 0x39c(%rax),%eax <--- fault call .. mov someglobalvar,%edx which together with the supplied config file makes me able to match it up with the assembly generation around it: inb %dx, %al # tmp254, value andb $1, %al #, tmp255 testb %al, %al # tmp255 je .L233 #, .L215: movl serial_ir+8, %eax # serial_ir.rcdev, serial_ir.rcdev xorl %edx, %edx # _66->timeout movl 924(%eax), %eax # _66->timeout, _66->timeout call nsecs_to_jiffies # movl jiffies, %edx # jiffies, jiffies.33_70 addl %eax, %edx # _69, tmp259 movl $serial_ir+16, %eax #, call mod_timer # movl serial_ir+8, %eax # serial_ir.rcdev, call ir_raw_event_handle # movl $1, %eax #, <retval> so it's that "serial_ir.rcdev->timeout" access that faults. So this is the faulting source code: drivers/media/rc/serial_ir.c: 402 mod_timer(&serial_ir.timeout_timer, jiffies + nsecs_to_jiffies(serial_ir.rcdev->timeout)); ir_raw_event_handle(serial_ir.rcdev); return IRQ_HANDLED; and serial_ir.rcdev is NULL when ti tries to look up the timeout. That mod_timer() is new as of commit 2940c7e49775 ("[media] serial_ir: generate timeout") and *that* is the actual new bug. Looking at the code, that serial_ir.rcdev thing is initialized fairly late in serial_ir_init_module(), while the interrupt is allocated early in serial_ir_probe(), which is done _early_ in serial_ir_init_module(): serial_ir_init_module -> serial_ir_init -> platform_driver_register -> serial_ir_probe -> devm_request_irq Mauro, Sean, please fix. Anyway, this is clearly a bug in the serial_ir code, but it is *also* once again clearly now being *triggered* due to the irq handling changes. I'm pretty sure that the thing that triggered this is once more commit a9b4f08770b4 ("x86/ioapic: Restore IO-APIC irq_chip retrigger callback") which seems to retrigger stale irqs that simply should not be retriggered. They aren't actually active any more, if they ever were. So that commit seems to act like a random CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ. It's good for testing, but not good for actual users. I the local APIC retrigger just unconditionally resends that irq. But it's the core interrupt code that decides to retrigger it incorrectly for some reason. Why is IRQS_PENDING set for that thing? Something must have almost certainly set it, despite the irq not actually having ever been pending. Thomas?
