I think that perhaps this could be a hard to trigger bug in one of those helpers. So the first step is knowing which one is triggering the oops, but it's hard to know if you run all together. To find out which one is the problematic, I would do the following: a) run the system for some time with non-patched kernel, just to make sure that this is not a bug in the stable kernel branch. b) run just one of the testing modules at a time. And try to figure out what's triggering the oops. Then you could give us more useful information to fix the problem. If someone else have a better method to hunt the bug, please let me know :) -- Pablo
