Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] NFS: Remove bad delegations during open recovery

From: Bryan Schumaker <[email protected]>

I put the client into an open recovery loop by:
Client: Open file
read half
Server: Expire client (echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/forget_clients)
Client: Drop vm cache (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches)
finish reading file

This causes a loop because the client never updates the nfs4_state after
discovering that the delegation is invalid. This means it will keep
trying to read using the bad delegation rather than attempting to re-open
the file.

Oh, I already encountered this bug but never found the time to debug
it / report it.

Thanks a lot! I'll try to test it soon.

Oh I didn't saw it was nfs4.1 specific since the header shows "NFS:
Remove bad delegations during open recovery"
Sorry, I thought about a general nfs bug.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] NFS: Always use the open stateid when checking for expired opens

From: Bryan Schumaker <[email protected]>

If we are reading through a delegation, and the delegation is OK then
state->stateid will still point to a delegation stateid and not an open
stateid.
