This is just stack corruption. If I break the long err_printf() of the buffer object into multiple calls, then It Just Works (TM). commit c7815d42dfce7439cde3f23766e7dea59ffa7e1a Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Sat Jun 29 23:26:50 2013 +0100 drm/i915: Break up the large vsnprintf() in print_error_buffers() So it appears that I have encountered some bogosity when trying to call i915_error_printf() with many arguments from print_error_buffers(). The symptom is that the vsnprintf parser tries to interpret an integer arg as a character string, the resulting OOPS indicating stack corruption. Replacing the single call with its 13 format specifiers and arguments with multiple calls to i915_error_printf() worked fine. This patch goes one step further and introduced i915_error_puts() to pass the strings simply. It may not fix the root cause, but it does prevent my box from dying and I think helps make print_error_buffers() more friendly.

The first pass finds the length, and the second pass emits the right portion of the string into the accumulation buffer. Unfortunately we use the same va_list for both passes, resulting in the second pass reading garbage off the end of the argument list. As the two passes are only used for boundaries between read() calls, the corruption is only rarely seen.
