I added the required information from another (identical) host with the
same problem. Please ignore it, since the actual hardware used is not
really relevant. We can reproduce this in other hardware too. This
happens in classroom installations in University of Helsinki and has
been going on for at least two years.

Title:
  Kernel BUG with multiple NFS4 kerberos mounts on boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Currently latest Ubuntu Linux kernel image has a a bug, probably a
  race condition, which happens when there are multiple kerberos nfs4
  mounts in /etc/fstab. This does not happen on every boot, so to
  reproduce this you probably need a few retries. This happens using the
  current Ubuntu Linux kernel in 14.04:

  # cat /proc/version_signature 
  Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6

  Apparently you need to have _multiple_ kerberos NFS4 mounts in
  /etc/fstab  to trigger this:

  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome1/u1 /home/ad/fshome1/u1 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0
  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome2/u2 /home/ad/fshome2/u2 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0
  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome3/u3 /home/ad/fshome3/u3 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0
  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome4/u4 /home/ad/fshome4/u4 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0
  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome5/u5 /home/ad/fshome5/u5 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0
  xxxxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome6/u6 /home/ad/fshome6/u6 nfs4 sec=krb5,rw,bg,hard 0 0

  
   When this happens we get a kernel stack trace (complete trace included), which starts like this:

  
  [   19.999751] gss_pipe_downcall: bad return from gss_fill_context: -4

  When this has happened, rpc.gssd gets stuck in D state:

  # ps aux|grep gssd
  root       452  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Ds   13:18   0:00 [rpc.gssd]

  Also NFS4 mounts will fail, with an error message which does not tell
  what is actually going on:

  root@do0-kukad211-07:~# mount -a -t nfs4
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome1/u1
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome2/u2
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome3/u3
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome4/u4
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx..helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome5/u5
  mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting xxxx.helsinki.fi:/root_vdm_3/fshome6/u6

  This also happened on Ubuntu 12.04, so the bug is probably old. There
  is a bug report, which is (IMHO) incorrectly reported against nfs-
  utils: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-
  utils/+bug/1046762

  We will fix this by removing the NFS mounts from fstab and doing them sequentially in startup scripts, but it would be nice if the kernel race would be fixed too.
