How to find out which part of code is changing a particular data structure.

[kiran kumar]

Hi Rjat,
Can you define that location as read only(i.e constant)?. This is only for debug prupose, later you can remove. 
I am expecting kernel panic with this change. 
Regards,
Kiran

You may attach debugger (like Lauterbach) and use its data breakpoint functionality.
