Hi,

I'm using kernel 2.4.4 cvs from SGI, with xfs. I'm getting this Oops:

kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010
kernel: printing eip:

It's produced very randomly. Some people (readed in xfs list) get similar error and
tested too with a clean 2.4.4 with ext2 filesystem, and oops too. I think this is
related to nfsd code (maybe sunrpc code), and it's not related to xfs code.

Always is produced in nfsd_findparent function. I enabled kdb support and I always
see the same stack trace, same order on functions calls.

Client machines mount exports from this server (an i386 with SMP enabled, 2 processors),
and both 3 and 2 nfs protocol version are used.

Some hint? Someone else gets similar oops?

How can I enable some debugging in nfsd & sunrpc stuff to try to see what is happen?

Thanx!
