Description: linux 3.4.2-2-ARCH crashes when X is killed on a DisplayLink device (udl)

Killing X on DisplayLink with the new udl module causes a cascaded panic, after which the machine is dead (no response to sysreq). Happens on both ia32 and x86_64.

Using the older udlfb modules works without crashes, albeit with lesser functionality.


Additional info:
* linux 3.4.2-2-ARCH
* panic log attached (via netconsole).


Steps to reproduce:

Start X on a udl device
Kill the X server

   udl-panic.log (25.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

upstream report?

I haven't reported it upstream (yet). Last time I used udl (vice uflfb) on a more recent kernel the same problem occurs. I can certainly reproduce on a current kernel and report on LKML.

Reported in kernel bugzilla https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46471 . Bug reproduced on mainline 3.5.3 kernel.
