Commit3b3fd068c5added NULL check for `rose_loopback_neigh->dev` in rose_loopback_timer() but omitted to check rose_loopback_neigh->loopback. It thus prevents *all* rose connect. The reason is that a special rose_neigh loopback has a NULL device. /proc/net/rose_neigh illustrates it via rose_neigh_show() function : [...] seq_printf(seq, "%05d %-9s %-4s %3d %3d %3s %3s %3lu %3lu", rose_neigh->number, (rose_neigh->loopback) ? "RSLOOP-0" : ax2asc(buf, &rose_neigh->callsign), rose_neigh->dev ? rose_neigh->dev->name : "???", rose_neigh->count, /proc/net/rose_neigh displays special rose_loopback_neigh->loopback as callsign RSLOOP-0: addr callsign dev count use mode restart t0 tf digipeaters 00001 RSLOOP-0 ??? 1 2 DCE yes 0 0 By checking rose_loopback_neigh->loopback, rose_rx_call_request() is called even in case rose_loopback_neigh->dev is NULL. This repairs rose connections.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
