Hi Tony, all, since kernel 5.18.x (5.17.x doesn't show this behavior), the system stalls as soon as I invoke the following commands (initializing USB-to-CAN converter): slcand -o -s8 -t hw -S 3000000 /dev/ttyUSB0 ip link set slcan0 up Have you already seen such an issue? Should I try to bisect this?
