I'm seeing an oops in the same routine on ia64 built from next-20100408 My setup is a SLES11 installation. next-20100407 booted with no problems. I'm also clueless about xfrm_policy. Here's an abbreviated copy of the first (of several) oops. The code dereferences a bad pointer: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 480cb78f00000024 mount.nfs[7289]: Oops 8821862825984 [1] Modules linked in: nfs lockd auth_rpcgss sunrpc binfmt_misc loop dm_mod sr_mod usb_storage sg button container usbhid uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore fan processor thermal thermal_sys Pid: 7289, CPU 16, comm: mount.nfs psr : 0000101008526030 ifs : 8000000000000e22 ip : [<a000000100888f10>] Not tainted (2.6.34-rc3-generic-smp-next-20100408) ip is at __xfrm_lookup+0x650/0x760 Call Trace: [<a000000100015950>] show_stack+0x50/0xa0 [<a0000001000161c0>] show_regs+0x820/0x860 [<a00000010003ac00>] die+0x1a0/0x300 [<a000000100068b40>] ia64_do_page_fault+0x8c0/0x9e0 [<a00000010000bb00>] ia64_native_leave_kernel+0x0/0x270 [<a000000100888f10>] __xfrm_lookup+0x650/0x760 [<a0000001007ec410>] ip_route_output_flow+0xf0/0x480 [<a000000100846c30>] ip4_datagram_connect+0x330/0x5e0 [<a00000010085f420>] inet_dgram_connect+0x140/0x180 [<a0000001007854f0>] sys_connect+0xf0/0x1a0 [<a00000010000b980>] ia64_ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x20 [<a000000000010720>] __kernel_syscall_via_break+0x0/0x20 I tried the patch you just posted.
