Unfortunately, this means that the patch should not have been back
ported. It is possible that the crash which this patch was addressing
was introduced as a result of changes elsewhere. For example
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
changed some internal mechanics of finalize. I didn't raise any
objection to the back port because it seemed like the original code
where the object was its own parent was wrong but I guess it was
working fine somehow. I think in the meantime the best course of
action is to revert the patch in the stable branches.
Ok, it was me who thought it's a good idea to apply it to stable branches.
Sure thing, if it's wrong, I should revert it.
Do I understand it correctly that in current master, this change is okay,
due to other changes (maybe like the above-mentioned one), but in previous
stable versions, it is not?
Should I make another stable release to fix this one? I mean, how serious
it is?
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,
