Hi Pablo, Marc Dionne testing the in-kernel AFS filesystem got the attached oops in netfilter when testing against the upstream kernel - but this hadn't been seen in my afs-fixes branch which was forked from commit 80f232121b69cc69a31ccb2b38c1665d770b0710 on the 8th May and merged into Linus's tree at 227747fb9eab37aaeb360aeba795362c01889427 and 0d74471924f2a01dcd32d154510c0500780b531a. There've been a few netfilter commits since then. I'm wondering if you've seen the oops. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI ...
