[Bug 344281] [NEW] CIFS kernel bug crashes system

[Jay Moore]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: smbfs

Symptoms:
My system has been freezing frequently the last few days, requiring hard reset each time.  There is no apparent pattern to what I am doing when the freeze occurs; it has even happened while I am away from my desk.  kern.log shows a recurring bug (about every 10 minutes) in cifs (cifs_dfs_ref.c:274).

System:
Ubuntu 8.10, all packages up to date.

Diagnostics:
Unmounting cifs mounts did not fix the problem.  Reinstalling all samba-related packages did not fix the problem.  Uninstalling all samba-related packages appears to have fixed it; it hasn't recurred for ~30 minutes now.  Excerpts from ker.log are attached.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
