It could be that some kobject on that list has become invalid (memory
was freed, module was unloaded, etc) and later code stumbled across the
now-invalid object on that list and then crashed.
What we can do to find this is to add a diagnostic each time an object
is registered, and a diagnostic each time kset_find_obj() looks at the
objects. Then we'll see which kobject caused the crash, then we can
look back and see where that kobject was registered from.
Something like this:
--- a/lib/kobject.c~a
+++ a/lib/kobject.c
@@ -717,6 +717,8 @@ int kset_register(struct kset *k)

This will generate a lot of output and we don't want to lose any of it.
I'd suggest setting up netconsole so all the output can be reliably
saved: Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt
Thanks.
