Right, but previously oopses were actual crashes. When you see WARNING,
it's the kernel using the oops system to report that something that
shouldn't have happened has happened, but it's not really a crash.
Obviously if your networking stops working it's a real bug, though. The
issues are reported to http://kerneloops.org .

What's the bug report URL?

Usually selinux is good at catching duplicates, so if anyone else is
hitting this alert, they will have been added to your bug report as a
CC.
