Oh my. How ironic. You do a pioctl to turn on the debug flags, and at the
end of that routine there's a debug print that now gets executed. Which
calls smp_processor_id(), causing the oops.

You probably want

I wonder how that happened. Hopefully 
http://cvsweb.stacken.kth.se/cvsweb.cgi/arla/nnpfs/linux/nnpfs_inodeops.c.diff?r1=1.215;r2=1.216
helps to avoid the loop in case it happens again. If you can reproduce it
easily, the patch along with "fs nnpfsdeb vnops" should give some clue
about how to fix the cause.
