I can reproduce the reported Oops by injecting a (wrong) USB ID into rtl8192cu myself on an untainted system. For reproducing the Oops, I inject an unknown (wrong, the device I'm abusing for this test is a Netgear WG111T, Atheros AR5523 based - no linux driver exists for this device and no module claims its device IDs 0x1385 0x4251) USB ID through sysfs facilities into rtl8192cu; all tests with kernel 3.0 + current -stable queue: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted 0 # modprobe rtl8192cu # echo -n "1385 4251" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id [hotplug device] # dmesg [...] [ 86.420998] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu [ 110.778029] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd [ 110.893824] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=1385, idProduct=4251 [ 110.893830] usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 110.893836] usb 1-7: Product: WG111T [ 110.893841] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Atheros Communications Inc [ 110.893845] usb 1-7: SerialNumber: 1.0 [ 110.894760] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 [ 110.894903] IP: [<ffffffffa0604747>] rtl_usb_probe+0x19b/0x74d [rtlwifi] [ 110.895012] PGD 0 [ 110.895012] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 110.895012] CPU 0 [ 110.895012] Modules linked in: rtl8192cu rtl8192c_common rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211 rfkill cpufreq_stats cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_conservative ppdev lp cpufreq_performance af_packet fuse nls_utf8 ntfs powernow_k8 freq_table mperf tda18218 af9013 ir_lirc_codec lirc_dev ir_sony_decoder ir_jvc_decoder ir_rc6_decoder ir_rc5_decoder ir_nec_decoder dvb_usb_af9015 dvb_usb dvb_core rc_core edac_core snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec ac97_bus snd_pcm snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device radeon parport_pc ttm drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit k8temp pcspkr evdev psmouse edac_mce_amd serio_raw power_supply parport snd i2c_nforce2 i2c_core button soundcore processor snd_page_alloc ext4 mbcache jbd2 crc16 dm_mod btrfs zlib_deflate crc32c libcrc32c sg sr_mod sd_mod cdrom crc_t10dif ata_generic usbhid hid floppy thermal fan firewire_ohci pata_acpi firewire_core crc_itu_t pata_amd sata_nv e1000 libata ohci_hcd forcedeth scsi_mod ehci_hcd usbcore ssb mmc_core pcmcia pcmcia_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 110.895012] [ 110.895012] Pid: 577, comm: khubd Not tainted 3.0-0.slh.6-aptosid-amd64 #1 MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-7185/MS-7185 [ 110.895012] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa0604747>] [<ffffffffa0604747>] rtl_usb_probe+0x19b/0x74d [rtlwifi] [ 110.895012] RSP: 0018:ffff88011da77a60 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 110.895012] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88011fc09ca0 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 110.895012] RDX: ffffffffa0608618 RSI: ffffffffa0607819 RDI: ffff88011fc08520 [ 110.895012] RBP: ffff88011f0a7088 R08: 000000000000ffff R09: 000000000000ffff [ 110.895012] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000fffb R12: ffff88011d5a6c30 [ 110.895012] R13: ffff88011fd54090 R14: ffff88011fc08520 R15: ffff88011fc09ca0 [ 110.895012] FS: 00007f6e9e1d37a0(0000) GS:ffff880127c00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 110.895012] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 110.895012] CR2: 0000000000000018 CR3: 000000011fe0f000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 110.895012] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 110.895012] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 110.895012] Process khubd (pid: 577, threadinfo ffff88011da76000, task ffff88011dc5b700) [ 110.895012] Stack: [ 110.895012] 0000000000000246 ffffffff8129f3d2 ffff88011fd54090 ffff88011f0a7000 [ 110.895012] ffff88011f0a7088 ffff88011d5a6c30 ffff88011f0a7000 ffffffffa0639528 [ 110.895012] ffff88011fd54090 ffff88011d5a6c00 0000000000000000 ffffffffa0051f05 [ 110.895012] Call Trace: [ 110.895012] [<ffffffff8129f3d2>] ?
