Subject: Re: Heads-up: 3.6.2 / 3.6.3 NFS server oops: 3.6.2+ regression? (also an unrelated ext4 data loss bug)
On 23 Oct 2012, J. Bruce Fields uttered the following:

Reproduced in 3.6.3, not in 3.6.1, not tried 3.6.2. Capturing it was
rendered somewhat difficult by an ext4/JBD2 bug which leads to data loss
in /var on every reboot out of 3.6.1 and on some reboots out of 3.6.3 (I
have runs of NULs in my logs now, which keep eating the oopses):
[while in 3.6.1]

[while having just booted into 3.6.1 after some time in 3.6.3: the FS
was clean, and fscked on the previous boot into 3.6.3 after a previous
instance of this bug]
Oct 23 17:18:26 spindle crit: [ 67.625319] EXT4-fs error (device dm-5): mb_free_blocks:1300: group 65, block 2143748:freeing already freed block (bit 13828)
This may well be a 3.6.1-specific bug fixed in 3.6.3, but it's hard to
tell since most of my reboots are 3.6.1->3.6.3 or vice versa right now.
Anyway, here's the NFSv4 oops (not a panic: it helps if I remember to
turn off panic_on_oops when I come home from the holidays).
It's a lockd problem, and probably happens during delivery of mail over
NFS (my mailserver load soars when it happens):

Aside: I am running with this patch, to prevent mounting of one
NFS-mounted directory under another from failing all accesses with a
spurious -EBUSY, a 3.6 regression -- but I can't see how this could
cause it. I'm running with this in 3.6.1 as well:
