Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Null pointer dereference in mmu_set_spte.isra on 3.8.0-33-generic

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  We faced a kernel oops on KVM from a null pointer derefence on one of
  our hypervisors (running several KVM VMs). This led us to a serie of
  kernel oops affecting all the VMs and finally, the host crash. We
  couldn't really establish where from the first oops was comming (in
  order to reproduce the crash).

  You'll find attach the extract of syslog where you have the really
  first oops, and all the followings.

  We're using Ubuntu 12.04LTS. We're using latest releases available on it, including for KVM. We're using kernel 3.8 due to hardware constraints. And we're using kernel 3.8.0-33-generic due to regressions in newer kernels (not yet reported).
