Hi,
As suspected, the segfault issue in stable releases (4.20.10/4.20.9/4.20.8) is due to the
same patch that caused segfault in mainline 5.0-rc6.
Here is the original patch
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/10/412 that caused the issue. It
made in to 4.20.8
(
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-sta...
) stable release and only fixed in
4.20.11(https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/l...
).
Thanks to everyone who tested it and reported!
Thanks ,
Gayatri Kammela
