I was too lazy to bisect for bad commit;) Reading the code I found problematic kthread_should_stop call from netlink connector which causes the oops. After applying a patch, I've been testing owfs+w1 setup for nearly two days and it seems to work very reliable (no hangs, no memleaks etc). More detailed description and possible fix is given below: Function w1_search can be called from either kthread or netlink callback. While the former works fine, the latter causes oops due to kthread_should_stop invocation. This patch adds a check if w1_search is serving netlink command, skipping kthread_should_stop invocation if so.
