Subject: [regression, stable] Re: Bug 215562 - BUG: unable to handle page
 fault in cache_reap (fwd from bugzilla)

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking. Top-posting
for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.

Below issue that started to happen between v5.10.80..v5.10.90 was
recently reported to bugzilla, but the reporter didn't even get a single
reply afaics. Could somebody maybe take a look? Bisection is likely no
easy in this case, so a few tips to narrow down the area to search might
help a lot here.

Ciao, Thorsten
