Hi, thanks for the report. Some musings below.

So we are trying to execute a non-existing address. This is a vmalloc
address, so I guess it was in a module that had been unloaded. The
fact that it doesn't resolve to a symbol name also points in the
direction of a module that was just unloaded.

But why isn't there a "last unloaded" entry? Are you sure this is the
complete line?

Yeah, async_thread() probably called a function that doesn't exist (anymore).

So... missing module_get() somewhere?

Maybe you can try to boot with the "initcall_debug" parameter? Adding
"debug" might also give some more info. And just in case, though it
might produce a lot of output, adding "ignore_loglevel" would make
sure that everything makes it to the console.
