That's a WARN_ON. It's harmless, but indeed is fixed by the patch
suggested.

> Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This is the interesting one! This is kind of crash which Linus' a49b7e82
fixed, but 3.9 contains that already.
For some reason, mgag200 is being unloaded (or failing to load) while
another one is being loaded. The new module does this:
kobj = kset_find_obj(module_kset, mod->name);
if (kobj) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: module is already loaded\n", mod->name);
kobject_put(kobj);
The old one does this:
kobject_put(&mod->mkobj.kobj); /* in mod_sysfs_fini */
...
module_free(mod, mod->module_core); /* in free_module */
And it doesn't wait for the kobj count to hit zero, so the other
kobject_put() it on a kobject which is freed...
Normally the right answer would be to offload the freeing of the module
memory to module_ktype's release function.
The backported dont-remove-from-list fix prevents this race from
happening, since the duplicate module is now caught earlier. It does
not prevent the same problem with other kobj references; for example,
what about sysfs accesses to a module which fails init?
So the simplest thing is to backport the fix, as suggested. But now I'm
trying to trigger the same bug in other ways.
Thanks,
Rusty.
