Hi Frank,

Thanks for the update. Let me know how the test kernel goes when users
are on the system.

I looked into your stack trace and found the below link:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190529151003.hzmesyoiopnbc...@aura.draconx.ca/T/

I'm sure you have probably found it too when researching the bug, and
the commit needed to fix it. Can you try running the reproducer?

Otherwise, let me know how the test kernel goes when opened up to users.

Thanks,

Title:
  Oops when Kerberos credentials are invalid

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Disco:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There's a bug in Linux Kernel 5.0 which is triggered by invalid
  credentials when the NFS clients is trying to aquire them via GSSD.
  This affects NFS-Shares that are protected by krb5* security. They
  become unusable until the system is re-booted. The problem is quite
  severe on terminal servers with multiple users - some of them not
  caring about refreshing their kerberos tickets.

  A fix is available here:

  
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/net/sunrpc/clnt.c?id=7987b694ade8cc465ce10fb3dceaa614f13ceaf3>
