As the n_gsm is full of known issues by the developers, and the ldisc is
not allowed to be loaded by a non-root user, this isn't all that serious
of an issue. See this thread for a list of problems that I think you
might have already found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/DB9PR10MB5881D2170678C169FB42A423E0082@DB9PR10MB5881.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM
Note, 2 fixes have landed in 6.10-rc2 for this driver, can you verify if
these fix the issue you are reporting here?
And do you have a proposed fix for this issue?
thanks,

Also, no need to let [email protected] know about this as you have
also sent it to public mailing lists, and given the above thread
disussion in public.
