Hi

I met a problem as follow .
As i understand , ksoftirqd is kernel thread therefore the virtual is above 0xc0000000. but the threadinfo=81168000, task=811636a8 and call trace is 80134058 .... . seems fault is at <8c820000>
These address is user space address not kernel space address .
How to analyse this issue ?
