Hmmm? I'm confused. &pwq->wq is pwq's pointer + wq's offset in pwq. It doesn't involve dereferencing pwq->wq. Maybe uml isn't implementing probe_kernel_thread()? Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how it could. cc'ing uml people. Hey, guys, workqueue uses proble_kernel_read() to print out workqueue related information during oops because those events are completely asynchronous and workqueue states may not be consistently accessible. It seems like uml doesn't implement probe_kernel_read() and tries direct derference of incorrect pointers leading to its own oops. Maybe uml should check whether the memory is mapped from probe_kernel_read()?
