is for v4.10-rc7 and later. Aufs4.9 (for linux-v4.9.0) doesn't have it.
As described in the commit log, the problem was born by the commit in
mainline linux-v4.10-rc7,
5abf186 2017-02-03 mm, fs: check for fatal signals in
do_generic_file_read()
Your kernel is debian v9(stretch) linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64
(4.9.82-1+deb9u3) or something, right?
Linux-v4.9 series backported the commit 5abf186 by the linux-v4.9.9.
So your kernel contains the commit which causes the problem, but aufs4.9
doesn't have the commit to fix it.
In other words, I should release a new branch "aufs4.9.9+" for
linux-v4.9.9 and later, and it should contain the backported commit
f2474d8.
The version numbers and the commit-id s may make you confused, but I
hope I could make myself clear.
I will create and release aufs4.9.9+ branch in next week.
