I couldn't find the memory leak using kmemleak, but it OOMs pretty quick. If I insert an mdelay(200) just after the lookup_again: marker in pnfs_update_layout() it doesn't OOM, but it seems stuck forever in a loop on that marker: [ 1230.635586] pnfs_find_alloc_layout Begin ino=ffff88003ef986f8 layout=ffff8800392bca58 [ 1230.636729] pnfs_find_lseg:Begin [ 1230.637538] pnfs_find_lseg:Return lseg (null) ref 0 [ 1230.638582] --> send_layoutget [ 1230.639499] --> nfs4_proc_layoutget [ 1230.640525] --> nfs4_layoutget_prepare [ 1230.641479] --> nfs41_setup_sequence [ 1230.641581] <-- nfs4_proc_layoutget status=-512 [ 1230.643288] --> nfs4_alloc_slot used_slots=0000 highest_used=4294967295 max_slots=31 [ 1230.644348] <-- nfs4_alloc_slot used_slots=0001 highest_used=0 slotid=0 [ 1230.645373] <-- nfs41_setup_sequence slotid=0 seqid=4376 [ 1230.646356] <-- nfs4_layoutget_prepare [ 1230.647357] encode_sequence: sessionid=1468956665:2:3:0 seqid=4376 slotid=0 max_slotid=0 cache_this=0 [ 1230.648522] encode_layoutget: 1st type:0x5 iomode:2 off:122880 len:4096 mc:4096 [ 1230.650182] decode_layoutget roff:122880 rlen:4096 riomode:2, lo_type:0x5, lo.len:48 [ 1230.651331] --> nfs4_layoutget_done [ 1230.652233] --> nfs4_alloc_slot used_slots=0001 highest_used=0 max_slots=31 [ 1230.653409] <-- nfs4_alloc_slot used_slots=0003 highest_used=1 slotid=1 [ 1230.654547] nfs4_free_slot: slotid 1 highest_used_slotid 0 [ 1230.655606] nfs41_sequence_done: Error 0 free the slot [ 1230.656635] nfs4_free_slot: slotid 0 highest_used_slotid 4294967295 [ 1230.657739] <-- nfs4_layoutget_done [ 1230.658650] --> nfs4_layoutget_release [ 1230.659626] <-- nfs4_layoutget_release This debug output is identical for every cycle of the loop.
