Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker.
Steve, I noticed a report about a CIFS regression in bugzilla.kernel.org
you might be interested in.
As many (most?) kernel developers don't keep an eye on the bug tracker,
I decided to write this mail. To quote from
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218902 :
> Computer crashs when copying files from a local drive to a cifs mounted files system.
>
> This bug exists since kernel 6.8.4 and is always present in last kernel 6.9.
>
> Step to reproduce: on AlmaLinux 9
>
> Boot with kernel 6.9.1-2 or 6.8.4
>
> Open a terminal and copy some files on the cifs mounted directory. (Copy can be performed either by cp * ~/COMMUN or using Thunar)
>
> --> The computer freezes and reboots producing an /boot/initram.....kdump.img file
>
>
> The bug is not present in kernel 5.14.0-427 nor in 6.7.9
> The bug does not affect read operations from the cifs mounted directory
>
> Mount options:

6.7.y worked fine; I asked for a bisection; a second reporter ran into
the same problem; apparently they all use something RHEL9-like.
See the ticket for more details. Note, you have to use bugzilla to reach
the reporter, as I sadly[1] can not CCed them in mails like this.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking:
https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr
If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.
[1] because bugzilla.kernel.org tells users upon registration their
"email address will never be displayed to logged out users"
P.S.: let me use this mail to also add the report to the list of tracked
regressions to ensure it's doesn't fall through the cracks:
