Hi, Unfortunately, my LKM is not a driver, it's extended kernel functions. Some memory error does happen in init_module(). I have fixed the errors, but every time has to reboot. I also tried to rename the LKM as john suggested, also doesn't work. It looks like kmem_cache_xxx functions keeping error status, can not self recovery.
