I've now got >9 days of uptime on two NFS servers with that patch (both servers had been previously affected by the bug) without any trouble; not a single nfsd thread has been lost. Unfortunately the fix didn't make it into 3.2.0-68.102 so I'm having to build my own kernels once more. What are the chances of this fix (or an equivalent/better one, of course) being included in 3.2.63? I'm attaching the patch again in diff form for clarity and convenience. ** Patch added: "nfsd-fix-acl-null-pointer-deref.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348670/+attachment/4192076/+files/nfsd-fix-acl-null-pointer-deref.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348670 Title: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010, set_nfsv4_acl_one+0x21/0xb0 [nfsd] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1348670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
