Is there any tool that will help us to see where > it happens? Some traces points? Call trace from vfs close to NFS close? There are NFS tracepoints but I don't know think there are VFS tracepoints. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the OPEN tracepoints that caused a kernel crash. I had a bugzilla out for RHEL7.2. It says it's fixed in the later kernel (.381) but it's currently not back ported to RHEL7.2z but hopefully will be soon (just chatted with Steve about getting the fix into zstream). I made no progress in figuring out what could be causing the lack of CLOSE and it was hard for me to reproduce. Just recently Trond fixed a problem where a CLOSE that was suppose to be sent as an OPEN_DOWNGRADE wasn't sent (commit 0979bc2a59) . I wonder if that can be fixing this problem.... > There is a one comment in the kernel code, which sounds similar: > (http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=trondmy/linux-nfs.git;a=blob;f=fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c;h=519368b987622ea23bea210929bebfd0c327e14e;hb=refs/heads/linux-next#l2955) > > nfs4proc.c: 2954 > ==== > > /* > * It is possible for data to be read/written from a mem-mapped file > * after the sys_close call (which hits the vfs layer as a flush). > * This means that we can't safely call nfsv4 close on a file until > * the inode is cleared.

I thought that because we keep a reference count on the inode and send the CLOSE when it goes down to 0. Basically the last WRITE will trigger the nfs close not the vfs_close. > ==== > > > Tigran. > > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Andy Adamson" >> To: "Mkrtchyan, Tigran" >> Cc: "Linux NFS Mailing List" , "Andy Adamson" , "Trond Myklebust" >> , "Steve Dickson" >> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2016 7:16:19 PM >> Subject: Re: Lost CLOSE with NFSv4.1 on RHEL7 ( and bejond?) > >> Hi Tigran >> >> Can you test with an upstream kernel?
