I did this and the problem seems fixed:
# git diff
diff --git a/fs/orangefs/namei.c b/fs/orangefs/namei.c
index b3ae374..249bda5 100644
--- a/fs/orangefs/namei.c
+++ b/fs/orangefs/namei.c
@@ -61,6 +61,7 @@ static int orangefs_create(struct inode *dir,
__func__,
dentry->d_name.name);
ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
+ d_drop(dentry);
goto out;
}
Of course, this has uncovered yet another reproducible problem:
710055 orangefs_unlink: called on PPTB1E4.TMP
710058 service_operation: orangefs_unlink ffff880014828000
right in here I think the rm is
being processed in the server just
as the client-core has died.
710534 wait_for_matching_downcall: operation purged ffff880014828000
710538 service_operation: orangefs_unlink ffff880014828000
710539 service_operation:client core is NOT in service
right in here I think stuff starts
working again and we're going
to unsuccessfully try to process
the rm again.
710646 wait_for_matching_downcall returned 0 for ffff880014828000
happy, because we got the matching downcall
710647 service_operation orangefs_unlink returning -2 for ffff880014828000
710648 orangefs_unlink: service_operation returned -2
sad, because we got ENOENT on second rm
710649 Releasing OP ffff880014828000
so... the userspace process (dbench in this case) thinks
the rm failed, but it didn't.
