Yinghai, I'm very sorry that it's a false report...

The root cause is memory corruption by the isdnloop driver:

==> [ 9.345694] isdnloop-ISDN-driver Rev 1.11.6.7
==> [ 9.347484] isdnloop: (loop0) virtual card added
[ 9.348444] bus: 'usb': driver_probe_device: matched device 1-1:2.0 with driver cdc_acm
[ 9.349773] bus: 'usb': really_probe: probing driver cdc_acm with device 1-1:2.0
[ 9.350967] cdc_acm 1-1:2.0: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem.
[ 9.353255] cdc_acm 1-1:2.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 9.354137] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0ffff163
[ 9.355214] IP: [<0ffff163>] 0xffff162
[ 9.355869] *pde = 00000000

Which was recently fixed by

commit 77f00f6324cb97cf1df6f9c4aaeea6ada23abdb2
Author: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

isdnloop: fix and simplify isdnloop_init()

Fix a buffer overflow bug by removing the revision and printk.

Thanks,
Fengguang
