How to solve this wired oscillation on the Source

Here is the circuit I am using.
I try to tune the input voltage on the gate of the lower device, so that the current pass through the resistor(0.25 Ohm) to certain level (let's say 7A for example). If the voltage of the power supply (the 50V one in the diagram) is low, like 30V, there is no oscillation detected. But to increase the voltage to like 50V, then the oscillation can be detected.
The oscillation is just like the following diagrams show.

I don't know where this oscillation comes from, and why is so "stable".

MOSFETs tend to be adversely affected by gate drive that doesn't remain strictly within the absolute ±gate drive voltage specifications. One way to do that conveniently is to reference gate drive from the MOSFET source. That is a reason why floating gate driver ICs are common.
