In addition to -ENOENT, and -ENOMEM, it looks to me as if > crypto_alg_mod_lookup() can also fail with -EINTR, -ETIMEDOUT, and > -EAGAIN. Don't we also want to handle those? You're right, I was focusing on the panic that I could easily reproduce. I'm still not sure how I could trigger those other conditions. > > In fact, peering into the rats nest that is > gss_import_sec_context_kerberos(), it looks as if that is just a tiny > subset of all the errors that we might run into.

That sounds fine to me -- updated patch attached. -Scott >From d54c6b64a107a90a38cab97577de05f9a4625052 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:12:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] auth_gss: remove the BUG() from gss_pipe_downcall() Instead return a generic error via gss_msg->msg.errno. None of the errors returned by gss_fill_context() should necessarily trigger a kernel panic.
