* There are multiple patches that contributed to the breakage of UMS. I didn't bother pin-pointing them all, but one that I looked (6a7068b4) dates back to April 2012 so there are kernels out in distros that crash on UMS. That probably tells us how many UMS users are left out there :-). BTW, the reason UMS crashes is because parser->rdev is NULL in UMS mode so every patch that tries to dereference it (and shares the code path with UMS) will cause an oops (it will become clear when you see the patches).
Well, that are some very valuable informations. Thx allot for testing and preparing patches to fix those bugs.
It confirms my suspicion that nobody is testing the UMS code paths any more and so in reality the code is completely unmaintained.
