Hi,
after upgrading the kernel from 5.6.11 to 5.6.14, we suffer from regular
crashes of nfsd here:

A vSphere 5.5 host accesses this linux server with nfs v3 for backup
purposes (a Veeam backup server want to store a new backup here).
The kernel is tainted due to vboxdrv. The OS is openSUSE Leap 15.1,
with the kernel and Virtualbox replaced with uptodate versions from
proper rpm packages (built on that very vSphere host in a OBS server
VM..).
I used to be subscribed to this ML, but that subscription has been
lost 04/09, thus I cannot reply properly to the general prot. fault
thread, started 05/12 from syzbot with Bruce looking into it.
It seems somewhat related.
Interestingly, we're using a couple of NFS v4 mounts for subsets of
home here, and mount /work and other shares from various
Tumbleweed systems with NFS v4 here without any undesired effects.
Since the kernel upgrade, every time, this Veeam thing triggers these
v3 mounts, the crash happens. I've disabled this backup target for now
until the problem is resolved, because it effectively prevents further
nfs accesses to this server, and blocks our desktops until the server
is rebooted.
A cursory look into 5.6.{15,16} changelogs seems to imply, that this
issue is still pending.
Let me know, if I can provide any further info's.
Thanks,
Pete
