My swag is that it's showing that the stack > trace is running in interrupt context when the kernel panic'd. <IRQ> is 'Interrupt Request', <EOI> is "End Of Interrupt'. (ret_from_intr is called after handling an interrupt) [arch/<arch>/kernel/entry_{32/64}.S] Yes, looks like your kernel panic'd while in interrupt context. (netif_receive_skb is called from NET_RX_SOFTIRQ handler, and it is in bottom-half context, but acc. to your stack trace it looks like it has been interrupted by an interrupt, but that should be fine.)
