I looked at the issue and I may have missed the reason you need to update your servers?
First, we don't directly support Debian. I've seen some errors reported on Debian that aren't reproducible even on Ubuntu, which should be similar. We support RHEL n and n-1, and SLES n and n-1 which means the latest release and the latest previous release (for RHEL that would be the latest in 6.x and 7.x, for SLES the latest 12 and 11). We also support the stable Linux kernels. The reason for the limits is that the distros often backport patches to their kernel, making something unique. Second, the part you're referencing is EOLed and is receiving minimal support. I would suggest staying with your working kernel. You could also try a different OS, but that's just an experiment.

These constant errors lead to all sort of NFS problems and I'm a bit reluctant to just switch off more than 1000 servers at the moment.
