[OpenAFS-devel] AFS 1.3.82 failing in kernel, tracing back to link_path_walk/dput/iput.

[C. Alex. North-Keys]

Problem seen under SuSE SLES9, kernel version 2.6.5-7.145-smp with 
default configuration (no preempt), compiled from openafs-1.3.82 
(configure options appended after call trace), caused reliably by 
running a compile in an AFS directory (although at somewhat variable 
points therein), seems to poison access to local (non-AFS) files as well 
afterwards.

Same configuration works fine on the same OS on a uniprocessor box, but 
further data points (other SMP or uniproc hosts) not available here yet.

Any suggestions?
