Hello all,
one of my drivers is causing a kernel panic and I _think_ it happens in the 1st call to the interrupt routine.
What kind of information can I extract from the following ?
Is it like a core dump that I can load with the executable in the debugger to know exactly what happened (I doubt it) ?

Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 [#1]

Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel stack overflow

My driver is xad.ko, though /dev/xps-acqui-data. The user program is SoftNoy.
The code for the ISR (note that this code works fine on the same driver for a slightly different piece of custom 
hardware):

static irqreturn_t XadIsr(int irq, void *dev_id) {
	Xad.control_reg->fin_in = 0;		
	Xad.interrupt_reg->ISR  = 1;		
	Xad.interrupt_IPIF_reg->ISR = 4;

	Xad.control_reg->flux_address[0] = BUFFER_PHY_BASE + BUF_SZ*(++Xad.Icnt % BUF_NB); 
	Xad.control_reg->flux_address[1] = Xad.control_reg->flux_address[0] + BUF_SZ/2;

	if (Xad.Icnt<Xad.Rcnt+BUF_NB) 
		Xad.control_reg->flux_start=255;	// Arm the next interrupt
	else {
		// There aren't any buffers available for the next read. We'll do the start in the read routine
		Xad.Suspended=1;
		Xad.OverflowsSinceLastRead++;
		Xad.Overflow++;
		DBG_ADD_CHAR('*');
		if (Verbose) printk(KERN_WARNING SD "%dth buffer overflow: %d-%d=%d>=%d\n" FL, 
			Xad.Overflow, Xad.Icnt, Xad.Rcnt, Xad.Icnt-Xad.Rcnt, BUF_NB);
	}

	wake_up_interruptible(&Xad.wait);
	return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
