  We also need the below upstream patch along with the patch mentioned
  above to fix this issue

  commit 098cdab16dfa6a85e9dad2cad604dee14ee15f66
  Author: Dave Anderson <anderson@xxxxxxxxxx>
  Date:   Fri Feb 12 14:32:53 2016 -0500

      Fix for the changes made to the kernel module structure introduced by
      this kernel commit for Linux 4.5 and later kernels:
      
        commit 8244062ef1e54502ef55f54cced659913f244c3e
        modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.
      
      Without the patch, the crash session fails during initialization
      with the error message: "crash: invalid structure member offset:
      module_num_symtab".

  Thanks
