Fortunately, my ia64 box reproduces this oops "every time".
So, I could chase it.
device_shutdown() function in drivers/base/power/shutdown.c
is followings.
-----------
/**
* device_shutdown - call ->shutdown() on each device to shutdown.
*/
void device_shutdown(void)
{
struct device * dev, *devn;
list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse(dev, devn, &devices_kset->list,
kobj.entry) {
if (dev->bus && dev->bus->shutdown) {
dev_dbg(dev, "shutdown\n");
dev->bus->shutdown(dev);
} else if (dev->driver && dev->driver->shutdown) {
dev_dbg(dev, "shutdown\n");
dev->driver->shutdown(dev);
}
}
}
--------
When oops occured, dev->driver pointed kset_ktype's address,
and dev->driver->shutdown was the address of bus_type_list.
So, Oops was caused by "Illegal operation fault".
kset_ktypes is pointed by system_kset.
If my understanding is correct, this loop can't distinguish between
struct device and struct kset, but both are connected in this list,
right? It may be the cause of this.
Bye.
