I am using nfs-kernel-server with Kerberos authentication to export

Hm, that's no good. Sorry for the long silence. I have no better
advice than
- try as recent a kernel as possible
- try a custom kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK enabled to make
the problem easier to track down.
Thanks for the advice.
Is this a regression (i.e., did previous kernel versions work okay)?
I am not sure if this is a regression. In the cluster, NFS was
replaced with OpenAFS, so I am not sure if the issue still exists
with a recent software installation since this was a while ago.
However, if you are interested, I might be able to set up a new test
environment.
