This looks like it could be related to the following oops I keep triggering on driver reload (using usb-3.5-rc1) but haven't had time to investigate further yet: [11811.646396] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: get_free_serial 1 [11811.646443] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: get_free_serial - minor base = 0 [11811.646460] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: usb_serial_probe - registering ttyUSB0 [11811.646766] usb 6-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [11812.264197] USB Serial deregistering driver FTDI USB Serial Device [11812.264865] usbcore: deregistering interface driver ftdi_sio [11812.282180] USB Serial deregistering driver pl2303 [11812.283141] pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [11812.283272] usbcore: deregistering interface driver pl2303 [11812.301056] USB Serial deregistering driver generic [11812.301186] usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbserial_generic [11812.301259] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: usb_serial_disconnect [11812.301823] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f8e7438c [11812.301845] IP: [<f8e38445>] usb_serial_disconnect+0xb5/0x100 [usbserial] [11812.301871] *pde = 357ef067 *pte = 00000000 [11812.301957] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [11812.301983] Modules linked in: usbserial(-) [last unloaded: pl2303] [11812.302008] [11812.302019] Pid: 1323, comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 3.4.0-rc7+ #101 Dell Inc.
