Hi all
I've bisected the problem, reported several times before:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg17208.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg17298.html
(authors cc'ed) and also causing reproducibly problems on my sh7724 SuperH
and sh7372 ARM Debian systems. Commit
commit d1bacf9eb2fd0e7ef870acf84b9e3b157dcfa7dc
Author: Bryan Schumaker <[email protected]>
Date: Fri Sep 24 14:48:42 2010 -0400
NFS: add readdir cache array
can be verified to be the culprit. Would be nice, if the other two
reporters could also verify this commit. Or is there already a fix
available?
Thanks

Sorry, it's NFSv3. We still need to fix the ID mapper's ability to work
with libnss-mysql-bg before we can try NFSv4. I went trying to track
down the inodes on the server, but didn't get very far. Would this still
be helpful?
Some of the file handles do seem to have recurred in the errors:

It looks like maybe a directory that is growing or shrinking or
something, and corruption is happening on a boundary somewhere.. It
definitely goes away wit "nordirplus". XFS is hosting the FSes on the
server side, and all the ones I see here are just under 1 TB and thus not
using the XFS inode64 option.
I'll try to dig up those inodes.

Ok, so I tracked them down, and they didn't seem to be particularly
unusual, so I tried a not-particularly-unusual thing that I figured might
work, and reproduced it:
server: echo test > a
client: ls -l
server: echo test > b ; mv b a
client: ls -l
That's it. The kernel (2.6.37-rc3), on the final "ls -l", says:
[12814.611197] NFS: server 10.10.52.228 error: fileid changed
[12814.611200] fsid 0:3f: expected fileid 0x122efbf1, got 0x122efc15
"ls -li" shows the inode updated, so maybe this isn't even a bug?

That patch removes readdirplus, and cannot therefore be responsible for
the fileid changed error that is reported in the emails below (which
does not occur when mounting with -onordirplus). It introduces a bunch
of other bugs (most which have been fixed), but not that one.
I've asked Simon for info about which NFS versions he is seeing this
with. He has not replied so far, but if you are seeing the same bug,
then I'd appreciate the same info.
Does the fileid bug occur with NFSv3 and NFSv4 or is it limited to one
or the other?

v3 here. As for errors - as I bisected, I didn't specifically watch out
for the "fileid" bug. There are a couple of warnings appearing, of which
"fileid" is just one. It is quite possible, that as I've found this
commit, the actual bug(s) that it introduces are different ones. For me it
is just "NFS works before this commit" and "NFS stops working reliably
after it." Symptoms vary indeed. Apart from "fileid" I'm also getting
warnings like
nfs_update_inode: inode 297450 mode changed, 0100005 to 0120777
Sometimes also there are no warnings, the action, currently in progress
(like apt-get or ldconfig) just hangs forever, consuming CPU and thrushing
the network.
Thanks

My report was the first one, but I'm actually seeing what seems to be
an improvement on 2.6.37-rc3 for that issue. That post was complaining
about NFS getting stuck on 2.6.35 and 2.6.36.
However, I did report problems similar to the second post ("fileid
changed"), and "nordirplus" made them stop. I am not sure if these two
problems are the same thing, since I've also seen an issue on 2.6.36 that
might be related to the hang issue ("flush" processes take all of the
CPU, NFS stuck, eventually recovers). Do you see problems at all on
2.6.37 with the nordirplus mount option?
It sounds like your are using root on NFS, and some apt-get
upgrade/ldconfig type command is preproducing the issue? Any guesses
on how to reproduce it with a simple testcase? :)

Indeed, it does! I verified that I can reproduce it on 2.6.37-rc3
without this patch, and I can no longer reproduce it with this patch.
Thanks muchly!

Ah! I think I see it now, and yes it is a bug...
Does the following patch fix it?

NFS: Fix a readdirplus bug
From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
When comparing filehandles in the helper nfs_same_file(), we should not be
using 'strncmp()': filehandles are not null terminated strings.
Instead, we should just use the existing helper nfs_compare_fh().
