Ok good. It doesn't panic now on nf_conntrack_irc rmmod but I found another bug. Now it's NULL pointer dereference I when doing rmmod of ebt_log. To reproduce simply: # modprobe ebt_log && rmmod ebt_log This is from the mainline kernel + your (Erics) patch: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff8048490a>] nf_log_unregister+0x2a/0x90 PGD 6f0e8067 PUD 6a2e0067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:01/PNP0C09:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full CPU 0 Modules linked in: ebt_log(-) nfs lockd auth_rpcgss sunrpc netconsole af_packet i915 drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core kvm_intel kvm ppdev acpi_cpufreq cpufreq_stats cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_ondemand freq_table fan sbs sbshc container pci_slot iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables sbp2 lp fuse snd_hda_codec_analog arc4 ecb snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss iwl3945 iwlcore thinkpad_acpi sr_mod cdrom pcmcia mac80211 snd_pcm rfkill led_class snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event evdev thermal uhci_hcd ehci_hcd parport_pc ohci1394 nvram yenta_socket rsrc_nonstatic pcmcia_core snd_seq pcspkr psmouse serio_raw usbcore cfg80211 e1000e ieee1394 sg parport battery ac button processor snd_timer snd_seq_device intel_agp snd soundcore snd_page_alloc Pid: 10249, comm: rmmod Not tainted 2.6.30-rc1-00204-gb0cbc86-dirty #33 7667Y24 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8048490a>] [<ffffffff8048490a>] nf_log_unregister+0x2a/0x90 RSP: 0018:ffff88006a331ec8 EFLAGS: 00010207 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffffa02d1d00 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000002 RDI: ffffffff8065bb80 RBP: ffff88006a331ed8 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: ffffffff80676600 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000880 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880001010000(0063) knlGS:00000000f7fc46b0 CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000008 CR3: 000000006f9f9000 CR4: 00000000000026a0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process rmmod (pid: 10249, threadinfo ffff88006a330000, task ffff88006f3c8000) Stack: ffffffffa02d1e80 ffffffffa02d1e80 ffff88006a331ee8 ffffffffa02d1518 ffff88006a331f78 ffffffff8026ddbb 00676f6c5f746265 ffffffff80229e77 0000000000000282 ffff88006a331f58 ffff88006f3c8000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffffa02d1518>] ebt_log_fini+0x10/0x1e [ebt_log] [<ffffffff8026ddbb>] sys_delete_module+0x18b/0x240 [<ffffffff80229e77>] ? do_page_fault+0x187/0x2a0 [<ffffffff8022f08b>] sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x32 Code: 90 55 48 89 e5 53 48 89 fb 48 83 ec 08 48 c7 c7 80 bb 65 80 e8 78 a9 06 00 31 c9 eb 31 0f 1f 40 00 48 8b 54 4b 18 48 8b 44 4b 20 <48> 89 42 08 48 89 10 48 c7 44 4b 20 00 02 20 00 48 c7 44 4b 18 RIP [<ffffffff8048490a>] nf_log_unregister+0x2a/0x90 RSP <ffff88006a331ec8> CR2: 0000000000000008 If this is not related or you don't have a clue I can bisect it.
