I have see that earlier too.  This is the comment from David during
that converstaion.

"Assuming:

       printk("%s,%s,%p,%zu,%p,%p,%lx\n",
              type->name, description, callout_info, callout_len, aux,
              dest_keyring, flags);

produced:

> dns_resolver,cifstest8.,ffffffffa03323a9,0,(null),(null),0

then I'd say that the oops is because dest_keyring is NULL.

Let me think about why this is.
