I think the root cause of this is the moxart ethernet driver, submitted by myself (only one person to blame), the bug does not happen in my local branch where memory allocations differ. To explain things clearly, the bug can be seen checking out moxart ethernet from next-20131122. The driver is new, I'll try to get changes submitted upstream, but it is in mainline, the right thing to do is to report the bug. I would like to figure out why this happens. BUG messages are printed after executing ifconfig from busybox.

I think this is related to build_skb() memory corruption: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69041 I'll be sending out patches with fixes for moxa ethernet today.
Fixed in v3.17-rc5. See commit "net: moxa: replace build_skb() with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() / memcpy()" 9fe1b3bc8d9182e950a744e4a47187420efa67f3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 69041 ***
