With both suggested patches by Antti Kantee, the problem went away.
Unfortunately, I can't confirm that it was because of the patches,
as an unpatched kernel now stays up, too.
So, either the offending NFS client went away, or the patch fixed the
problematic state causing the panics. I've left an unpatched kernel
running, in case I can reproduce the error state, and at least
statistically show that the patched kernel fixes the problem whenever it
occurs.
That is, until you guys have analytically found the problem in the code
and fixed it there. :) Again, thanks for looking into this with such short
notice!
I'll let you know, if the situation changes, if this PR is still open at
that time. If you think you've fixed it properly in the tree and close
this PR, I'd be happy to just update my sources and continue tracking
-current and file another PR (or request this opened or whatever) if
needed.
Thanks,
Artsi
