Fwd: commit 6e98b09da931a00bf4e0477d0fa52748bf28fcce suspect causing full system lockup

Hi,

I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

With the driver enabled my system locks up with a few mins of booting and logging into desktop. I have to use power off button and reboot to older kernel. With the r8169 driver blacklisted the kernel works perfectly.

See Bugzilla for the full thread and attached syslog.

Anyway, I'm adding it to regzbot:

#regzbot introduced: 6e98b09da931a0 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217519
#regzbot title: Networking pull for v6.4 causes full system lockup on RTL8111/8168/8411

Thanks.

Closing as there is already a confirmed fix (see Bugzilla):

#regzbot resolved: d6c36cbc5e533f

Thanks.
