Looks like some out-of-tree, old kernel thing. We don't have mlx4_stats_sysfs_create() upstream and looking at the boot timestamps, it could be that register_jprobe() is not ready yet. Looking at the Code, though: 20: 74 59 je 0x7b 22: 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 29: 00 00 2b:* 48 3b 71 20 cmp 0x20(%rcx),%rsi <-- trapping instruction 2f: 72 3a jb 0x6b 31: 48 3b 79 28 cmp 0x28(%rcx),%rdi 35: 77 34 ja 0x6b %rcx is 0xdead0000000000d0 and that is POISON_POINTER_DELTA + 0xd0 so that looks more like smp_alt_modules is not initialized yet but I could could very well be wrong because this is an old kernel. So trigger that with the upstream kernel without out of tree modules. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) --
