Very strange things are happening. Here is part of System.map (the closest region): c17a4fb8 d dev_attr_a_hnp_support c17a4fc8 d dev_attr_a_alt_hnp_support c17a4fe0 d udc_driver c17a5040 d memory c17a5360 d max_udc_ops c17a53a0 d max_ep_ops c17a53e0 d max_device c17a54d0 d max_resources c17a5500 d serio_bus c17a5538 d serio_event_list The break/oooops occurs at: kobj=0xc17a506c, kobj->sd = NULL, attr = 0xf817a914 It is referenced somewhere in the memory. The closest address from kernel symbol table is memory: 0xc17a5040 Some pointer went dangling around (with address udc_driver), probably!?
