Description Nico Schümann 2011-01-04 17:11:24 UTC 
When my PPP connection dies, my kernel crashes from time to time.

I already found a trace that this problem should have been fixed in 2.6.36-rc1, but in my vanilla 2.6.36, it still happens.

Since it's a computer which is a bit far away from here, I was not able to bisect.

You find the backtrace I found here: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2010/8/16/6886459
And a discussion on LKML: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/17/471
I double-checked that the patch is applied, but still no joy.

$ uname -r
2.6.36

Thank you for your time and help,

Nico

Marking as obsolete as the code in this area has changed significantly since this report
