Can you run
  ./scripts/faddr2line drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/namei.o  ll_splice_alias+0x1df/0x250 

(you might need a different pathname for namei.o, depending on how you
build the kernel).

d_splice_alias() can return an error (very rarely I think) and the
CDEBUG() at the end of ll_splice_alias wouldn't be happy about that.

The code shows a crash at:
  2b:*	48 8b 48 30          	mov    0x30(%rax),%rcx		<-- trapping instruction

and 
   RAX: ffffffffffffff8c

which is -116 or -ESTALE.
That is an error which d_splice_alias() can get from __d_unalias, so
I guess that is what is happening.

I'll dig through d_splice_alias() and try to work out what that means.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
