Out of curiosity, can you link me to the upstream git repo for http://kernsec.org/pipermail/linux-security-module- archive/2017-December/004638.html? I want to be sure I'm looking at the right place.
Interestingly, it looks like someone replied to your patch saying they would incorporate it in early December, so it seems this bug fell through the cracks more than once. Joseph Salisbury is subscribed to this bug and has commented on it above, so hopefully he will update regarding this when he gets a chance. This seems like a really simple fix, so I'm actually going to see if I can recompile 4.13.0-25-generic with this patch added to make it work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1742572 Title: System Hangs and General Protection Fault Occurs following NFS Access Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Last night, in an attempt to secure my system against Meltdown/Spectre, I upgraded from Zesty to Artful. Upon booting into the latest kernel, my system would immediately hang and fail to respond (including to SysRq commands). Both this (my primary) system and an Intel NUC (which were both upgraded from Zesty to Artful at the same time) export NFS shares to one other. The NUC appears to be error-free, but my primary system seems to crash whenever I attempt to access the NFS share of NUC. As I have not tried any other kernel releases in either system other than 4.13.0-25.29, it's impossible for me to say if this is an issue regarding the recent security patch, or if it is some other issue. Attached is the console log (obtained via netconsole) which includes the kernel trace of the error. Please let me know if further information is required or if I can help further in troubleshooting.
