FWIW, I see a crash in autoremove_wake_function() during resume from suspend to RAM that happens immediately before the thawing of tasks. It always happens in the "events" thread. I can trigger it quite reliably, although not 100% of the time.
I can only see the bottom half of the call trace, so I can't really say what kind of a crash this is.
Also, for quite some time I've been observing a resume-from-hibernation crash during the final switch from a VT to X that could also be explained by a problem with "events".
Best, Rafael
