Marten Gajda <marten.gajda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> states: I tracked the problem down to the function nfs4_do_open_expired. Within this function _nfs4_open_expired is called and may return -NFS4ERR_DELAY. When a further call to _nfs4_open_expired is executed and does not return -NFS4ERR_DELAY the "exception.retry" variable is not reset to 0, causing the loop to iterate again (and as long as err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY, probably forever) Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 5 +++-- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c index e8df52d..49eebe2 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c @@ -1104,8 +1104,9 @@ static inline int nfs4_do_open_expired(struct nfs_open_context *ctx, struct nfs4 do { err = _nfs4_open_expired(ctx, state); - if (err == -NFS4ERR_DELAY) - nfs4_handle_exception(server, err, &exception); + if (err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY) + break; + nfs4_handle_exception(server, err, &exception); } while (exception.retry); return err; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
