The problem arises in the very same manner with both nfs and cfsd: NFS:setattr { ... ... RPC:call_decode { return 22; } ... return 22; } I have tried these kernels: 2.6.16.11 works 2.6.20 works 2.6.21 works 2.6.21.7 works 2.6.22 doesnt work (contiguous to previous version) 2.6.23 doesnt work (same behavior as previous) 2.6.23.9 doesnt work (as above) 2.6.24rc7 doesnt work (as above) I would really like to do more, client or server side, if you ave any suggestions. Can we find out what is the change (doesnt matter if it is a buf or bug fix) that caused this problem ?
