At least in my case, the next thing in memory turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization code). It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit fce1456a19f5c08b688c29f00ef90fdfa074c79b ("knfsd: make the readahead params cache SMP-friendly"). Cc: Cc: Greg Banks Signed-off-by: "J.
