Public bug reported: I have two hosts that experience kernel panics intermittently.
I have not been able to find any pattern. The occurrences seem random across both hosts, and the console logs show multiple different processes associated. The pertinent kernel logs from the most recent panics are included in the attachment. These hosts are openvpn servers which have 500+ users connected. I have two additional servers (essentially identical configuration) with far fewer users connected and these have never experienced a a kernel panic.
