The initial effect was that some clients could no longer access the NFS server. This got worse and worse (probably as more nfsd threads got blocked) and we had to restart the server. Restarting the server also failed as the NFS server service could no longer be stopped. The initial kernel we noticed this behavior on was kernel-5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.x86_64. Since then we've installed kernel-5.14.0-419.el9.x86_64 from CentOS Stream 9. The same issue happened again on this newer kernel version:419 is fairly up to date with nfsd changes. There are some known bugs around callbacks, and there is a draft MR in flight to fix it. What kernel were you on prior to 5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.x86_64 ? If we can bracket the changes around a particular version, then that might help identify the problem.[Mon Mar 11 14:10:08 2024] Not tainted 5.14.0-419.el9.x86_64 #1The above threads are trying to flush the workqueue, so that probably[Mon Mar 11 14:10:08 2024] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Today, a user informed us that their screen was black after logging in. Similar to other occurrences of this issue, the mount command on the client was hung. But in contrast to the other times, there were no messages in the logs kernel logs on the server. Even restarting the client does not resolve the issue.Ok, so you rebooted the client and it's still unable to mount? That sounds like a server problem if so. Are both client and server running the same kernel?Is there a way to force such a conflicting request (to get the client record to purge)?Something still seems to be wrong on the server though. When I look at the directories under /proc/fs/nfsd/clients, there's still a directory for the specific client, even though it's no longer running: # cat 155/info clientid: 0xc8edb7f65f4a9ad address: "10.87.31.152:819" status: confirmed seconds from last renew: 33163 name: "Linux NFSv4.2 bersalis.esat.kuleuven.be" minor version: 2 Implementation domain: "kernel.org" Implementation name: "Linux 5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.0.1.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Feb 11 13:49:23 UTC 2024 x86_64" Implementation time: [0, 0] callback state: DOWN callback address: 10.87.31.152:0If you just shut down the client, the server won't immediately purge its record. In fact, assuming you're running the same kernel on the server, it won't purge the client record until there is a conflicting request for its state.
Try: # echo "expire" > /proc/fs/nfsd/clients/155/ctl -Dai
How is the client id determined? Will changing the hostname of the client trigger a change of the client id?The nfsdclnts command for this client shows the following delegations: # nfsdclnts -f 155/states -t all Inode number | Type | Access | Deny | ip address | Filename 169346743 | open | r- | -- | 10.87.31.152:819 | disconnected dentry 169346743 | deleg | r | | 10.87.31.152:819 | disconnected dentry 169346746 | open | r- | -- | 10.87.31.152:819 | disconnected dentry 169346746 | deleg | r | | 10.87.31.152:819 | disconnected dentry I see a lot of recent patches regarding directory delegations. Could this be related to this?Will a 5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.0.1 kernel try to use a directory delegation?No. Directory delegations are a new feature that's still under development. They use some of the same machinery as file delegations, but they wouldn't be a factor here.The system seems to have identified that the client is no longer reachable, but the client entry does not go away. When a mount was hanging on the client, there would be two directories in clients for the same client. Killing the mount command clears up the second entry. Even after running conntrack -D on the server to remove the tcp connection from the conntrack table, the entry doesn't go away and the client still can not mount anything from the server. A tcpdump on the client while a mount was running logged the following messages over and over again: request: Frame 1: 378 bytes on wire (3024 bits), 378 bytes captured (3024 bits) Ethernet II, Src: HP_19:7d:4b (e0:73:e7:19:7d:4b), Dst: ArubaaHe_f9:8e:00 (88:3a:30:f9:8e:00) Internet Protocol Version 4, Src: 10.87.31.152, Dst: 10.86.18.14 Transmission Control Protocol, Src Port: 932, Dst Port: 2049, Seq: 1, Ack: 1, Len: 312 Remote Procedure Call, Type:Call XID:0x1d3220c4 Network File System [Program Version: 4] [V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)] GSS Data, Ops(1): CREATE_SESSION Length: 152 GSS Sequence Number: 76 Tag: <EMPTY> minorversion: 2 Operations (count: 1): CREATE_SESSION [Main Opcode: CREATE_SESSION (43)] GSS Checksum:00000028040404ffffffffff000000002c19055f1f8d442d594c13849628affc2797cbb2…GSS Token Length: 40GSS-API Generic Security Service Application Program Interfacekrb5_blob:040404ffffffffff000000002c19055f1f8d442d594c13849628affc2797cbb23fa080b0…response: Frame 2: 206 bytes on wire (1648 bits), 206 bytes captured (1648 bits) Ethernet II, Src: ArubaaHe_f9:8e:00 (88:3a:30:f9:8e:00), Dst: HP_19:7d:4b (e0:73:e7:19:7d:4b) Internet Protocol Version 4, Src: 10.86.18.14, Dst: 10.87.31.152 Transmission Control Protocol, Src Port: 2049, Dst Port: 932, Seq: 1, Ack: 313, Len: 140 Remote Procedure Call, Type:Reply XID:0x1d3220c4 Network File System [Program Version: 4] [V4 Procedure: COMPOUND (1)] GSS Data, Ops(1): CREATE_SESSION(NFS4ERR_DELAY) Length: 24 GSS Sequence Number: 76 Status: NFS4ERR_DELAY (10008) Tag: <EMPTY> Operations (count: 1) [Main Opcode: CREATE_SESSION (43)] GSS Checksum:00000028040405ffffffffff000000000aa742d0798deaad1a8aa2d7c3a91bf4f6274222…GSS Token Length: 40GSS-API Generic Security Service Application Program Interfacekrb5_blob:040405ffffffffff000000000aa742d0798deaad1a8aa2d7c3a91bf4f627422226d74923…I was hoping that giving the client a different IP address would resolve the issue for this client, but it didn't. Even though the client had a new IP address (hostname was kept the same), it failed to mount anything from the server.Changing the IP address won't help. The client is probably using the same long-form client id as before, so the server still identifies the client even with the address change.There are no messages in the system logs that indicate any sort of memory issue. We also increased the min_kbytes_free sysctl to 2G on the server before we restarted it with the newer kernel.Unfortunately, the cause of an NFS4ERR_DELAY error is tough to guess. The client is expected to back off and retry, so if the server keeps returning that repeatedly, then a hung mount command is expected. The question is why the server would keep returning DELAY. A lot of different problems ranging from memory allocation issues to protocol problems can result in that error. You may want to check the NFS server and see if anything was logged there.This is on a CREATE_SESSION call, so I wonder if the record held by the (courteous) server is somehow blocking the attempt to reestablish the session? Do you have a way to reproduce this? Since this is a centos kernel, you could follow the page here to open a bug:Unfortunately we haven't found a reliable way to reproduce it. But we do seem to trigger it more and more lately.Regards, Rikhttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wiki.centos.org/ReportBugs.html__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LV3yWeoSOhNAkRHkxFCH2tlm0iNFVD78mxnSLyP6lrX7yBVeA2TOJ4nv6oZsqLwP4kW56CMpDWhkjjwSkWIqsboq$I created another dump of the workqueues and worker pools on the server:[Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] workqueue events: flags=0x0 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pwq 54: cpus=27 node=1 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=2 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pending: drm_fb_helper_damage_work [drm_kms_helper][Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] workqueue events_power_efficient: flags=0x80[Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pwq 54: cpus=27 node=1 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=2 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pending: fb_flashcursor [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] workqueue mm_percpu_wq: flags=0x8 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pwq 54: cpus=27 node=1 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=3 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pending: lru_add_drain_per_cpu BAR(362) [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] workqueue kblockd: flags=0x18 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pwq 55: cpus=27 node=1 flags=0x0 nice=-20 active=1/256 refcnt=2 [Mon Mar 18 14:59:33 2024] pending: blk_mq_timeout_work In contrast to last time, it doesn't show anything regarding nfs this time. I also tried the suggestion from Dai Ngo (echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), but that didn't seem to make any difference.We haven't restarted the server yet as it seems the impact seems to affect fewer clients that before. Is there anything we can run on the server to further debug this? In the past, the issue seemed to deteriorate rapidly and resulted in issues for almost all clients after about 20 minutes. This time the impact seems to be less, but it's not gone. How can we force the NFS server to forget about a specific client? I haven't tried to restart the nfs service yet as I'm afraid it will fail to stop as before.Not with that kernel. There are some new administrative interfaces that might allow that in the future, but they were just merged upstream and aren't in that kernel. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
