5.2-RELEASE kernel panic (page fault) in if_ath.ko

[Matthew Fremont]

In the last 24hrs I've experienced several page fault
panics on my 5.2-RELEASE system. Panics appear to be
related to Samba and NFS traffic on a NetGear WG311
NIC. The NIC is supported by the ath(4) driver, and a
backtrace of the crash dump suggest that the page
fault is triggered in the if_ath.ko module.

My questions are:

1. Should I report this by filing a PR?

2. Is "kern" the appropriate category?

3. What information concerning my system configuration
should be included in the PR?

4. Would it be helpful for me to try to compile a
debug version of if_ath.ko and attempt to reproduce
the problem?


Thanks,

Matthew Fremont
