Comment(by lindi):

 A reliable way to crash the kernel is
 {{{
 insmod g_ether.ko.2
 sleep 1
 ifconfig usb0 up
 sleep 1
 ifconfig usb0 down
 sleep 1
 rmmod g_ether # ip link still shows usb0
 sleep 2
 insmod g_ether.ko.2 # now uses usb1 instead of usb0
 sleep 2
 ifconfig usb0 up # crash when dev_open tries to use usb0
 sleep 2
 }}}

 I can even do "ifconfig usb0 up" after I have removed the g_ether module
 completely.
