Package: openafs-client
Version: 1.6.9-2+deb8u5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
As discussed on the openafs-info mailing list, the openafs-client is unreliable
(cannot checkout certain repos) after some backported patches were applied to
the
kernel.
With respect to the 'git checkout test' was when openafs-client
is paired with
3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4
and first broken is
3.16.7-ckt25-1
.
Mark Vitale suspects that these changes are responsible for the breakage:
- vfs: Make sendfile(2) killable even better
- vfs: Avoid softlockups with sendfile(2)
Also note that openafs packages for Debian versions 1.6.17 and 1.6.18 do not
fail
the 'git checkout test' with recent Jessie kernel.
This link is to the thread on openafs-info in which Jonathan Kollasch, Benjamin
Kaduk,
Jeffry Altman, and Mark Vitale helped focus debugging on the relavant facts.
Thanks
all!

It appears that the backport to jessie never occurred, and has subsequently
become overtaken by events (this bug is shown as fixed in all versions of
openafs still supported by debian).
So, doing some housekeeping and marking the actual bug report as closed, as
there's no longer anything to do for it.
