Sorry to reply so late because I'm busy with my work.
The backtrace of the kernel panic you got shows that the variable
priv/data itself is null in rum_txeof() so the added check for data->m 
is a null pointer dereference itself. Would you simply add a
null pointer to check for data/priv to the rum_txeof() function and
see whether it improves the situation? Thanks.
