Hi,

all stable release queues from v4.9.y up to v5.4.y have boot stall problems. The culprit is the backport of commit d7ea0d9df2a6 ("net: remove two BUG() from skb_checksum_help()"), specifically the following code.

Not sure why this patch has been backported.

It had no Fixes: tag, and was not a stable candidate.

Now dropped thanks.
