(Get the code!)
I have found and reported a critical bug in aufs (as shipped with the latest Ubuntu kernels, both on Bionic and Xenial), which potentially affects anyone running Docker on Ubuntu using aufs graph driver. The fix has been developed, tested at least by me to fix the issue, and committed into upstream aufs git repos
The nature of the bug is, in case of multiple parallels aufs mounts and unmounts, the kernel can screw up krefs, and once that happens, the only remedy is to reboot it (as commands like mount/umount or cat /proc/mounts are all stuck in syscalls).
I would appreciate syncing aufs with the latest upstream release from git, as it was done a few times already, or at least taking the below fix (whatever suits maintainers better).
The fixed versions are the ones marked with 20190610, and from what I see they are available for all kernel versions since 4.14 (for example, 4.15 tree is here: https:/
