Thanks for catching that Bernard and I sure wish kernel committers would
test their code before committing it! Does the kernel show any sort of
diagnostic information before it resets?  An oops on the serial console,
etc?

Proposed patch is lethal to netrom module and kernel causing a reboot

Hello Bernard and David,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the
instability caused due to this patch. I take this instability very 
seriously.

Unfortunately I am on a low-end backup system right now which does not have 
resources to build or boot custom kernels effectively, locally. That's why, 
it has been difficult for me to test the patch locally due to which I have 
been relying on syzbot for testing. I am grateful for your feedback by 
testing that patch on your setup.

I will work on investigating further why the kernel isn't stable with this
patch and try to create a better fix for this bug. 

Thanks a lot Bernard for testing this patch. In case you get any crash 
dump or similar information, it would be very helpful to understand the issue 
and fix it. 

Thank you very much and best regards,
Prithvi
