I wonder if this is the best solution.
This code:

hlist_for_each_entry_safe(ch, tmp, head, cache_list) {
sunrpc_begin_cache_remove_entry(ch, detail);
spin_unlock(&detail->hash_lock);
sunrpc_end_cache_remove_entry(ch, detail);
spin_lock(&detail->hash_lock);
}

Looks wrong.
Dropping a lock while walking a list if only safe if you hold a
reference to the place-holder - 'tmp' in this case. but we don't.
As this is trying to remove everything in the list it would be safer to
do something like

while (!hlist_empty(head)) {
ch = hlist_entry(head->first, struct cache_head, h);
sunrpc_begin_cache_remove_entry(ch, detail);
spin_unlock(&detail->hash_lock);
sunrpc_end_cache_remove_entry(ch, detail);
spin_lock(&detail->hash_lock);
}

I'm guessing that would fix the problem in a more focused.
But I'm not 100% sure because there is no analysis given of the cause.
What line is
cache_purge+0xce/0x160
./scripts/faddr2line can tell you.
I suspect it is the hlist_for_each_entry_safe() line.

Can you test the change I suggest and see if it helps?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
