Hello, I'm still hitting a kernel NULL dereference on wait_for_key_construction with a 3.4.7 x86_64 kernel. My build also includes those NFS patches: a427b9e # NFS: Fix a number of bugs in the idmapper c506694 # NFS: Clear key construction data if the idmap upcall fails 12dfd08 # NFS: return -ENOKEY when the upcall fails to map the name 5cf02d0 # nfs: skip commit in releasepage if we're freeing memory for fs-related reasons caea33d # SUNRPC: return negative value in case rpcbind client creation error cac5d07 # sunrpc: clnt: Add missing braces 0866004 # NFSv3: Ensure that do_proc_get_root() reports errors correctly Since I'm not able to reproduce it easily, I don't know exactly when it's happening. Any idea? or maybe am I missing some other patches? I'm using the old nfs userland.
