commit 49af7ee181f4f516ac99eba85d3f70ed42cabe76 in mainline. NFS unregisters sysctls only if V4 support is compiled in. However, sysctl table is not V4 specific, so unregister it always. Steps to reproduce: [build nfs.ko with CONFIG_NFS_V4=n] modrobe nfs rmmod nfs ls /proc/sys Unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff880661c0 RIP: [] proc_sys_readdir+0xd3/0x350 PGD 203067 PUD 207063 PMD 7e216067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 1 Modules linked in: lockd nfs_acl sunrpc Pid: 3335, comm: ls Not tainted 2.6.23-rc3-bloat #2 RIP: 0010:[] [] proc_sys_readdir+0xd3/0x350 RSP: 0018:ffff81007fd93e78 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: ffffffff880661c0 RBX: ffffffff80466370 RCX: ffffffff880661c0 RDX: 00000000000014c0 RSI: ffff81007f3ad020 RDI: ffff81007efd8b40 RBP: 0000000000000018 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffffffff802a8570 R12: ffffffff880661c0 R13: ffff81007e219640 R14: ffff81007efd8b40 R15: ffff81007ded7280 FS: 00002ba25ef03060(0000) GS:ffff81007ff81258(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffffffff880661c0 CR3: 000000007dfaf000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process ls (pid: 3335, threadinfo ffff81007fd92000, task ffff81007d8a0000) Stack: ffff81007f3ad150 ffffffff80283f30 ffff81007fd93f48 ffff81007efd8b40 ffff81007ee00440 0000000422222222 0000000200035593 ffffffff88037e9a 2222222222222222 ffffffff80466500 ffff81007e416400 ffff81007e219640 Call Trace: [] filldir+0x0/0xf0 [] filldir+0x0/0xf0 [] vfs_readdir+0xa7/0xc0 [] sys_getdents+0x96/0xe0 [] system_call+0x7e/0x83 Code: 41 8b 14 24 85 d2 74 dc 49 8b 44 24 08 48 85 c0 74 e7 49 3b RIP [] proc_sys_readdir+0xd3/0x350 RSP CR2: ffffffff880661c0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Acked-by: Trond Myklebust Cc: "J.
