Why I did it
Running warm-reboot in a loop for 500 times leads to this error on 318-th iteration:

The issue was reported to scapy devs secdev/scapy#3369, the fix is secdev/scapy#3371, however there is no released scapy version with this fix right now, thus decided to build scapy v2.4.5 from sources and apply the fix in a form of a patch.
