 Greetings fellow crash users.  The hacklet below keeps crash working
 (for the nonce) into the 5.14 kernel cycle.  I doubt it's applicable (despite being
kinda sorta disguised
 as a patch just in case;), but it should serve as a bandaid until the real deal comes
along.
 
 Handle kernel rename of task_struct.state to __state
 
 Kernels post 5.13 renamed task->state to task->__state.  Check the
 validity of 'state', and upon failure, rashly presume that "__state"
 exists, and isn't going to change again any time soon. 
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the patch.  but Alex also had addressed the same issue, and
this patch just got merged:
