You are completely right. Thank you for your attention and I am sorry for the rush (I am a newbie in the kernel scope).

The problem occurs in a production environment in random periods, sometimes after some hours and sometimes after some days.
I couldn't reproduce it in my test environment, I even tried to simulate the problem under huge load in my development environment but still no crash occurred.
I also tried to attach a serial console but nothing special happens when system reboots.

I applied IMQ patch so I have a xt_IMQ module.
Could this be root of the problem?

You're correct. My kernel is 5.4.181+. I got the tip and I will check all my changes, although I think they are irrelevant.

Thank you again for your time.
