I think it is this code: 0000000000001bea <acm_rx_tasklet>: ... 1e27: 4d 8b 44 24 18 mov 0x18(%r12),%r8 1e2c: 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 1e2e: c1 f8 0f sar $0xf,%eax 1e31: 83 e0 0f and $0xf,%eax 1e34: 48 8b 14 c2 mov (%rdx,%rax,8),%rdx 1e38: 0f b6 42 03 movzbl 0x3(%rdx),%eax ; I think it crashed here which is this: movq 24(%r12), %r8 # <variable>.base, temp.1149 movl %edi, %eax # D.22806, tmp117 sarl $15, %eax #, tmp117 andl $15, %eax #, tmp119 movq (%rdx,%rax,8), %rdx #, ep movzbl 3(%rdx), %eax # <variable>.desc.bmAttributes, <variable>.desc.bmAttributes and correspondingly: 466 ep = (usb_pipein(acm->rx_endpoint) ? acm->dev->ep_in : acm->dev->ep_out) 467 [usb_pipeendpoint(acm->rx_endpoint)]; 468 if (usb_endpoint_xfer_int(&ep->desc)) So it looks like ep is NULL (usb_endpoint_xfer_int accesses desc.bmAttributes, which is 3 bytes off the beginning of struct usb_host_endpoint (desc being the first field in usb_host_endpoint). Any help with further debugging is very much appreciated (because I don't know where to continue yet). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
