It really depends on the underlying filesystem. In 2223560, I don't know for sure, but just prior to the oops, there were these messages in the log: [51935.482019] XFS (vda3): Filesystem has been shut down due to log error (0x2). [51935.482020] XFS (vda3): Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s). [51935.482550] vda3: writeback error on inode 25320400, offset 2097152, sector 58684120 My assumption was that the fs being shut down caused some VFS operations to start returning errors (including getattr) and that is why fh_pre_saved ultimately didn't get set. > > > Move set_change_info to nfs4proc.c since all of the callers are there. > > Revise the condition for setting "atomic" to also check for > > fh_pre_saved.

So I assume the URL should go in the Closes: field then? I'll take out the WARN_ON_ONCE and resend, once others have had a chance to comment.
