Issue found on: v6.5.13 v6.6.13, v6.6.14, v6.6.20 and v6.8.1 Not found on: v6.4, v6.1.82 and below Architectures: amd64 and arm(hf) Steps to reproduce: - Create a VM with 1GB RAM - Install Debian 12 - Install linux-image-6.6.13+bpo-amd64-unsigned and nfs-kernel-server - Export some folder On the client: - Mount the share - Run a script that does produce heavy usage on the share (like unpacking large tar archives that cointain many small files into a git and commiting them) On my setup it takes 20-40 hours until the memory is full and oom-kill gets hired by nfsd to kill other processes. the memory stays full and the system reboots: [121969.590000] oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,task=dbus-daemon,pid=454,uid=101 [121969.600000] Out of memory:
