Too many references: cannot splice

[Luis Ugalde]

Hi,

I've been running the patched version for the last few days, and I can
confirm that I have not seen any errors. I still have to check it with 4.x
kernels, but it's working as expected with the current Debian Stable one.


Regards,
Luis ugalde.
