[1.] One line summary of the problem:
2.2.18 oops leaves umount hung in disk sleep
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Greetings! We have a backup server running 2.2.18,
nfs-kernel-server 0.1.9.1-1 (Debian), mount 2.10f-5.1, autofs
3.1.4-9. Two nights ago, the kernel had an oops when autofs
tried to umount an nfs-mounted filesystem, leaving the umount
process in an uninterruptible state.
15655 ? D 0:00 /bin/umount /mnt/i19
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
nfs, autofs, mount
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

ksymoops 2.3.4 on i586 2.2.18-i586tsc. Options used
-V (default)

-m /boot/System.map-2.2.18-i586tsc (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I
will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are
running right now and I'll use the default options above for
symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not
match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the
kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc.
ksymoops -h explains the options.
Warning (compare_maps): ksyms_base symbol
module_list_R__ver_module_list not found in System.map. Ignoring
ksyms_base entry

present.
