Hi Bruce, I ran into this oops in the nfsd (below) (4.10-rc3 kernel). To trigger this I had a client (unsuccessfully) try to mount the server with krb5 where the server doesn’t have the rpcsec_gss_krb5 module built. Below code seems to fix things: diff --git a/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c b/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c index 886e9d38..7faffd8 100644 --- a/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c +++ b/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c @@ -1187,9 +1187,9 @@ static int gss_proxy_save_rsc(struct cache_detail *cd, status = -EOPNOTSUPP; /* get mech handle from OID */ gm = gss_mech_get_by_OID(&ud->mech_oid); + rsci.cred.cr_gss_mech = gm; if (!gm) goto out; - rsci.cred.cr_gss_mech = gm; status = -EINVAL; /* mech-specific data: */ I guess the problem is because rsci.cred gets initialed from something that’s passed in that doesn’t have it’s cr_gss_mech initialized to NULL. So when gss_mech_get_by_OID() fails and it calls rsc_free() and tries to free a bad pointer. Don’t know if this is acceptable or it should be traced to where the uninitialized pointer is coming from. If this approach is ok, I can re-send this as a patch.
