More information:
With the debug patch applied the oops is a NULL pointer dereference
at sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x16, which according to gdb is
(gdb) l *sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x16
0xffffffff802d4bff is in sysfs_hash_and_remove (/home/rafael/src/mm/linux-2.6.22-rc4-mm2/fs/sysfs/inode.c:294).
289 int found = 0;
290
291 if (!dir)
292 return -ENOENT;
293
294 if (dir->d_inode == NULL)
295 /* no inode means this hasn't been made visible yet */
296 return -ENOENT;
297
298 mutex_lock_nested(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex, I_MUTEX_PARENT);
That doesn't make much sense to me, but it's 100% reproducible.

Rafael
