Thanks for reporting these kernels oopses; I'm looking into them, but
making progress is difficult without a reproduceable case, or at least a
characterization of what is going on when the problem occurs: is the
machine under heavy load, or are multiple processes trying to create and
unlink the same file in AFS?
I also noticed you have a lot of kernel modules loaded that aren't
loaded by the stock Athena install; I know it's completely dead chicken
waving, but it might be interesting to see if pruning some of them
(ntfs?) makes the system any more stable.
We do have enough stack traces for now, so you don't need to send any
more of them unless you end up with a different back trace that doesn't
go through afs_linux_create().
