1) New index member of struct rxe_queue is introduced but not zeroed so the initial value of index may be random. 2) Current index is not masked off to index_mask. In such case, producer_addr() and consumer_addr() will get an invalid address by the random index and then accessing the invalid address triggers the following panic: "BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff9ae2c07a1414" Fix the issue by using kzalloc() to zero out index member.

Perhaps this is why I can not reproduce this problem in the local host. Zhu Yanjun
