Here's a snippet from slabinfo > right before umount'ing (let me know if more of it would help): > No, it hung. Unfortunately, I didn't collect any info that told me where it was hung though. I believe that's fairly typical though in situations like this. The problem is that we likely have a dentry refcount leak somewhere. The vfsmount refcount was low enough to allow an unmount though. Often these sorts of problems lurk in error handling code... > # grep nfs /proc/slabinfo > nfsd4_delegations 0 0 360 22 2 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 > nfsd4_stateids 0 0 120 34 1 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 > nfsd4_files 0 0 136 30 1 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 > nfsd4_stateowners 0 0 424 38 4 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 > nfs_direct_cache 0 0 136 30 1 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 > nfs_write_data 46 46 704 23 4 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 2 2 0 > nfs_read_data 207 207 704 23 4 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 9 9 0 > nfs_inode_cache 23901 23901 1056 31 8 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 771 771 0 > nfs_page 256 256 128 32 1 : tunables 0 0 > 0 : slabdata 8 8 0 slabinfo probably won't tell us much here. If we can narrow down the reproducer for this though then that would definitely help. Actually, /proc/self/mountstats might give us something to go on... -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
