My 4.18.11 kernel seems to be OK. Whenever I inject a delay into the interface with iproute2 tools, I get a panic. Example command: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 35ms The RIP is pointing at netif_skb_features+0x31/0x230 My efforts to get a transmittable copy of the panic have been thwarted. There's some confusion between this patch and the upstream patch refered to in the commit message The upstream commit patches net/sched/sch_netem.c which isn't even touched in this commit. Althought the commit messages are the same, the two patches seem to have a different purpose. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/net/sched?id=bffa72cf7f9df842f0016ba03586039296b4caaf The commit message seems more relavant to this patch. The upstream commit bffa72cf7f9df842f0016ba03586039296b4caaf has not yet been applied to the stable tree. I decided to roll the dice, and apply the upstream patch bffa72cf7f9df842f0016ba03586039296b4caaf (it's been in the main kernel tree just over a year). When I manually patch my 4.14.74 kernel with bffa72cf7f9df842f0016ba03586039296b4caaf, my panic seems to be solved. I'm uncertain if this is the proper solution, but I hope this points in the direction of the issue.
