Package: openafs-client Version: 1.6.9-2+deb8u5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
As discussed on the openafs-info mailing list, the openafs-client is unreliable (cannot checkout certain repos) after some backported patches were applied to the kernel. With respect to the 'git checkout test' was when openafs-client is paired with 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4 and first broken is 3.16.7-ckt25-1 . Mark Vitale suspects that these changes are responsible for the breakage: - vfs: Make sendfile(2) killable even better - vfs: Avoid softlockups with sendfile(2) Also note that openafs packages for Debian versions 1.6.17 and 1.6.18 do not fail the 'git checkout test' with recent Jessie kernel. This link is to the thread on openafs-info in which Jonathan Kollasch, Benjamin Kaduk, Jeffry Altman, and Mark Vitale helped focus debugging on the relavant facts.
