I might see the problem here. I think there's a bug in 2.6.38ish
kernels that's fixed by commit fd88ce93:
@@ -421,7 +420,7 @@ cifs_demultiplex_thread(struct TCP_Server_Info *server)
pdu_length = 4; /* enough to get RFC1001 header */
incomplete_rcv:
- if (echo_retries > 0 &&
+ if (echo_retries > 0 && server->tcpStatus == CifsGood &&
time_after(jiffies, server->lstrp +
(echo_retries * SMB_ECHO_INTERVAL))) {
cERROR(1, "Server %s has not responded in %d seconds. "
...if the server decides to disconnect the client for some reason, then
the above delta will prevent that error message from popping
unnecessarily. Steve, I think that patch should probably go to -stable
as well.
