Further, it doesn't use the kvm interface itself. Does smbfs really need that much kernel memory? This sounds somewhat like a memory leak in smbfs... not that I see offhand where it uses kvm either.

I hope this is the right way to reply. I had a panic, same message, with
5.x for a long time. Kept posting but no one seemed to be able to offer
much advice. Just thought I would add that I was mounting something with
smbfs too, although since I didn't know it was smbfs I was always using
it... you may be on to something? :) In the end I got fed up and went
back to 4.x, which has been up twice as long so far BUT I don't have the
samba share mounted ;) If it's worth trying to see if it panics after a
while with smbfs, even on 4.x, I could do that.
