Hi Frank,

I have been reading up on this particular bug for the last few days now, and I
think I understand what is going on. 

Firstly, the commit you requested:

commit 7987b694ade8cc465ce10fb3dceaa614f13ceaf3
Author: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed May 29 12:49:52 2019 -0400
Subject: SUNRPC: Fix a use after free when a server rejects the RPCSEC_GSS 
credential

This commit fixes a problem which was introduced by an earlier commit:

commit cea57789e4081870ac3498fbefabbbd0d0fd8434
Author: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
Date:   Sat Mar 9 16:06:47 2019 -0500
Subject: SUNRPC: Clean up

Now, this earlier commit "SUNRPC: Clean up" is not present in the
current bionic 5.0 HWE kernel, which would mean that you might be facing
a different bug entirely.

Is there any chance that you can provide more information about your
system?

Can you provide a stack trace output by dmesg, or in /var/log/kern.log for this
problem, or better still, can you provide a sosreport?

collection-sosreport

Since the bug can still be triggered in different paths, I am in the
process of backporting the commit you requested to the 5.0 kernel. The
code has changed a lot between 5.2 where the patch was introduced, and
5.0 where I am backporting it to.

I think I have created a good backport, which are below if you are
interested:

I am currently building a test kernel with the above patches applied for
bionic, and I will let you know once it is ready, likely tomorrow. Once
it has finished building I will ask you to install it to validate that
it solves the problem you are facing.

In the meantime, can you get me a sosreport from the affected system,
and I will let you know when the test kernel is ready.

Please do not post the sosreport publicly, and instead attach it to the
SF case.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Thanks,
Matthew
