Turn on Debug memory allocations, spinlock debugging, sleep-inside-spinlock
checking, and preempt, it will help your debugging.  If you are not building
your own kernel from source learn how.

You are probably freeing memory twice, or not doing ref counting properly
or other locking issues.  Since it is your code, good luck debugging it,
if you want the community help it needs to be open source code that
is available for download or be in the kernel.org kernel.
