Hi,

We also have experienced this issue with 3.2.0-57-generic. Thanks to the core dump analysis by Louis Bouchard, I could notice that accessing current->mempolicy in interrupt context is totally bad idea, and then found the following commit.

This fix was introduced in 3.6-rc1, that's why 3.8 kernel hasn't experienced this issue. Can you backport the fix to 12.04's 3.2 kernel?
