Hello,

I tested the three specified kernels, and v3.11.6 was the first one in
which I could trigger the oops.

Title:
  Kernel oops - BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
  0000000000000030; IP: [<ffffffff811c07c7>] touch_atime+0x17/0x140

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since 3.11.0-13-generic, I've been encountering the following kernel
  oops. I can trigger it quite reliably by watching full-screen videos
  on YouTube using google-chrome (Version 31.0.1650.48) for roughly 10
  minutes. Once the oops happens, the system remains up, but certain
  programs (like top) start hanging and a reboot is needed to restore
  full functionality.

  I've tried using 3.12.0-999-generic (3.12.0-999.201311080433), but get
  the same problem there. I don't get the oops when booting into
  3.11.0-12-generic, so I suspect the problem was introduced in
  3.11.0-13-generic (especially since I see there were some changes made
  related to the shmat system call).

  Attached is the oops from dmesg. The EIP location and stack-trace are
  identical for all the oops I've seen so far.
