Re: Bug 216582 - BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference - nlmclnt_setlockargs

[Daire Byrne]

Thorston,

Thanks, but I should just say that I'm not certain this is a
regression yet - it could just be a change in our workload that is
triggering something I haven't seen before.

I am slowly working back through kernel versions to verify that - but
it's really hard to trigger and does not happen often so it is slow
going. Also my workload and configuration is quite unique (NFS
re-exporting) so I may be the only one seeing this...

Cheers,

Daire
