The disassembly is
55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 48 ff 05 c7 af 80 01 incq 0x180afc7(%rip) # 0x180aff2 * 48 8b 7f 60 mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdi <-- trapping instruction e8 38 27 ec ff callq 0xffffffffffec276c 48 ff 05 bf af 80 01 incq 0x180afbf(%rip) # 0x180affa c9 leaveq c3 retq
which is the access of "drv->p" in that function:
kobject_put(&drv->p->kobj);
so "drv" that was passed in was just bogus. (it's "0xffffffffa06a8430", looks like it's the DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that has caused the page to be free'd).

And I think that - as usual - the problem is that the damn driver cleanup is very ugly, and has this duplicate set of code to unregister all the random crap. Except one of the duplicates is missing one case. I think the bug was introduced by Gjorn Helgaas in commit 9e368fa011d4 ("ipmi: add PNP discovery (ACPI namespace via PNPACPI)") which added the acpi pnp case, but only unregistered it on the regular module exit path, not on the "module loaded with no pnp devices" path.
Does this patch fix it? And Corey - this is a good example of why the code shouldn't duplicate the "unregister stuff" in the module load error case vs the module exit path, and there should be a shared "cleanup()" function that is called by both. Can this be cleaned up, please?
PATCH IS UNTESTED!
