Hello,

Sorry for late response. I was on a long vacation.

I have tried to solve the problem however I don't find any clue yet.

From my analysis, oops report shows that 'struct sock *ssk' passed to
netlink_broadcast_filtered() is NULL. It means that some of
netlink_kernel_create() returns NULL. Maybe, it is due to slab
allocation failure. Could you check it by inserting some log on that
part? The issue cannot be reproducible in my side so I need your help.

Thanks.
