again from the beginning:

commit:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5e7cafd69da24e6d6cc988fab6ea313a2577efc

halted my  system on boot x86_64 kernel lz4 ( decompress error )

revert this commit is not required ( This patch improves security ), only slight changes I have proposed
in my first patch, modified this patch today and I send again to LKML and CC to overview.

This is a simple change to the analysis

I do not believe that only I have a problem with the 64-bit kernel compressed in lz4.
