Kernel Panic due to bad paging request

What can be the reasons for the kernel to panic due to

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0x00000024 epc=0x9caf9876 ra=0x9432adfc

1. Address not yet dynamically allocated
2. No corresponding virtual address entry in page table

What else?

Correct me if am wrong.

virtual address 0x00000024

Surely that's a NULL pointer dereference? Accessing p->field, where p == NULL and offsetof(typeof(p), field) == 0x24.

EDIT: ah, note this doesn't explain a full panic. Most frequently, a NULL pointer dereference would take down one task, log "OOPS" and a bracktrace, and let you try to shut down. With a panic, all you could do is hit the hard reboot button.

If you had a NULL-pointer dereference inside the MM, maybe that would be a reason for a full panic. I think the surrounding messages would let you determine whether that was the case.
