+In addition, you can use GDB to figure out the exact file and line
+number of the OOPS from the vmlinux file. If you have
+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you can simply copy the EIP value from the
+OOPS:
+
+ EIP: 0060:[<c021e50e>] Not tainted VLI
+
+And use GDB to translate that to human-readable form:
+
+ gdb vmlinux
+ (gdb) l *0xc021e50e
+
+If you don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you use the function
+offset from the OOPS:
+
+ EIP is at vt_ioctl+0xda8/0x1482
+
+And recompile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled:
+
+ make vmlinux
+ gdb vmlinux
+ (gdb) p vt_ioctl
+ (gdb) l *(0x<address of vt_ioctl> + 0xda8)
+or, as one command
+ (gdb) l *(vt_ioctl + 0xda8)
+
+If you have a call trace, such as :-
+>Call Trace:
+> [<ffffffff8802c8e9>] :jbd:log_wait_commit+0xa3/0xf5
+> [<ffffffff810482d9>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e
+> [<ffffffff8802770b>] :jbd:journal_stop+0x1be/0x1ee
+> ...
+this shows the problem in the :jbd: module. You can load that module in gdb
+and list the relevant code.
+ gdb fs/jbd/jbd.ko
+ (gdb) p log_wait_commit
+ (gdb) l *(0x<address> + 0xa3)
+or
+ (gdb) l *(log_wait_commit + 0xa3)
