Thank you for your replay even if this is quite late.
As you mention, I know there is an error (or some errors) but I cannot
guess where it is, so that I want to know where I should start debugging
from.
However, although I'm using serial console, I could get not enough clues
only from the kernel log:
1) I could get what line and file caused the panic by using the call trace
2) What linear address brings about this situation; Faulting linear address
I think, literally, the 'Faulting linear address' is key point because I
heard that it represents bad pointer.
With the pointer(it is just address and I cannot infer what it does mean),
is there any way to figure out its real data or line in C source code?
If you have any other approach that can be used in some cases like this,
could you please give me the guide?
Below is the kernel log from serial console:
