I am getting this with your config:
(gdb) p vt_ioctl
$1 = {int (struct tty_struct *, struct file *, unsigned int, long
unsigned int)} 0xc01e404a <vt_ioctl>
(gdb) l *(0xc01e404a + 0xda8)
0xc01e4df2 is in vt_ioctl (drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c:720).
715 /*
716 * Returns the first available (non-opened) console.
717 */
718 case VT_OPENQRY:
719 for (i = 0; i < MAX_NR_CONSOLES; ++i)
720 if (! VT_IS_IN_USE(i))
721 break;
722 ucval = i < MAX_NR_CONSOLES ? (i+1) : -1;
723 goto setint;
724
Which seems to match the code dump in the OOPS as well. I am not sure
what %edx (which is zero and causes problems) should contain but I am
guessing tty_driver->ttys is corrupted which seems consistent with the
reference count sanity check failure. Unfortunately I am not familiar
enough with tty internals to immediately see why this is happening.
