Probably the same bug was also reported to samba-technical by Karolin
Seeger; she filed the bug for 3.19-ckt with Ubuntu:

<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-trusty/+bug/1543980>

Running the Samba test suite reproduces the problem; see bug for details.

I've enabled more Kernel debug options and got the following:

I continued bisecting "v4.1.12..v4.1.17 -- net/unix/" and found:

Reverting the attached patch in 4.1 fixes my problem (for now). The
original patch went into 4.4, but was back-ported to several stable trees:

v3.2: a3b0f6e8a21ef02f69a15abac440572d8cde8c2a
v3.18: 72032798034d921ed565e3bf8dfdc3098f6473e2
v4.1: 5c77e26862ce604edea05b3442ed765e9756fe0f
v4.2: bad967fdd8ecbdd171f5f243657be033d2d081a7
v4.3: 58a6a46a036ce81a2a8ecaa6fc1537c894349e3f
v4.4: 7d267278a9ece963d77eefec61630223fce08c6c
