It's probably not much help but for the oops I originally reported we've 
been carrying "nfsd: don't allow nfsd threads to be signalled" locally 
and that resolved it. Now that we've updated to 5.15.160 and dropped the 
local patch it's still resolved for us. Our systems don't make use of 
suspend so they won't hit any issue related to that.
