[   24.434799] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:1328!

Ok, it is now a WARN_ON_ONCE() in my tree (which I _just_ pushed out). 

So it's going to cause irritating messages (once), but the machine should 
hopefully work.

Should i spend time on bisecting this, or is this known already?

It's going to bisect down to the same commit you already bisected 
once, it's the networking code that changed some of the rules, so 
various network drivers that didn't follow the expected rules are now 
unhappy.

Maybe the network drivers are few enough that it will get fixed, or 
maybe the WARN_ON_ONCE() will just be removed and the rule not 
reinforced.

ok, have updated the testboxes to your latest push.

Btw., otherwise the big networking pull held up pretty well on a healthy 
range of testboxes i have, it looked a lot scarier to me in the morning 
than it turned out to be during the day. A couple of hundred tests 
passed already and no indication of any runtime fragility so far. Boot 
crashes/warnings can be annoying and hard to get a proper log of but 
once the log is available they are normally quite easy for developers to 
act upon.
