It makes it worse. Much, much worse. From a crash every so often when
I'm doing compilations over NFS, I get an immediate panic on startx,
long long before I even try to replicate the earlier panic:

That's here:

(gdb) list *(encode_nlm4_lock+0x26)
0xffffffff8124af69 is in encode_nlm4_lock (fs/lockd/clnt4xdr.c:329).
324      *      string caller_name<LM_MAXSTRLEN>;

329             u32 length = strlen(name);
330             __be32 *p;
331
332             p = xdr_reserve_space(xdr, 4 + length);
333             xdr_encode_opaque(p, name, length);

   0xffffffff8124af69 <+38>:    repnz scas %es:(%rdi),%al

Pretty clearly, "name" can be NULL after this patch...
