Just hit an odd oops on a desktop running Fedora's 4.20.14, which was followed by a complete hang of all NFS operations. The Fedora kernel is only lightly patched, but does include Trond's "[PATCH] NFSv4.1: Avoid false retries when RPC calls are interrupted". I don't think that's involved here but I'm certainly no expert. I also don't know if this is known, but I don't see anything in 4.20.15 or 4.20.16 that looks like it would be help. So far I've seen this only once across 100+ desktops and have no idea how I might reproduce it. I have filed a ticket with Fedora (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690123). If there's another place I should report this, please let me know. - J< [Mar18 13:57] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 [ +0.000004] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ +0.000004] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [ +0.000003] CPU: 0 PID: 6747 Comm: kactivitymanage Not tainted 4.20.14-200.fc29.x86_64 #1 [ +0.000001] Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H87I-PLUS, BIOS 2002 07/22/2014 [ +0.000006] RIP: 0010:gss_verify_mic_kerberos+0x73/0x300 [rpcsec_gss_krb5] [ +0.000002] Code: 00 0f 84 a7 02 00 00 48 8d 44 24 34 4c 8b 62 08 c7 44 24 20 14 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 28 f6 05 9f f8 d2 ff 10 0f 85 95 3a 00 00 <66> 41 81 3c 24 04 04 41 bd 00 00 09 00 0f 85 b3 00 00 00 41 0f b6 [ +0.000002] RSP: 0018:ffff97f702afb748 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ +0.000002] RAX: ffff97f702afb77c RBX: ffff8a69b3945600 RCX: 0000000000000012 [ +0.000001] RDX: ffff97f702afb7c0 RSI: ffff97f702afb7d0 RDI: ffff8a69a4bafe20 [ +0.000002] RBP: ffff97f702afb7d0 R08: 00000000000002f4 R09: ffff8a69b38e9780 [ +0.000001] R10: ffff8a690ddfcf98 R11: 0000000035e353de R12: 0000000000000000 [ +0.000002] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000b14 R15: ffff8a6991c68660 [ +0.000002] FS: 00007f2f9785de00(0000) GS:ffff8a6a4f800000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ +0.000001] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ +0.000002] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000348fee004 CR4: 00000000001606f0 [ +0.000001] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ +0.000002] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ +0.000001] Call Trace: [ +0.000008] gss_unwrap_resp_integ.isra.10+0xa6/0xf0 [auth_rpcgss] [ +0.000017] ?
