Perhaps the oprofile support is retaining an additional reference to the in-core inode which is causing the .nfsXXXX files to get created and is also delaying their removal? ps -----Original Message----- From: linux-nfs-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-nfs-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chuck Lever Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 1:51 PM To: Trond Myklebust Cc: NFSv3 list Subject: Re: Connectathon locking test fails over NFSv3 with EBUSY On 06/22/10 03:17 PM, Trond Myklebust wrote: > On Tue, 2010-06-22 at 15:03 -0400, Chuck Lever wrote: >> It looks like the connectathon tests race with the removal of deleted >> files.

I've reproduced this by running several passes of all of the tests ("./server -a -N10") while oprofile is running. Without oprofile running this seems to be nearly impossible to reproduce. When a pass finishes, the RMDIR of the test directory fails because there are .nfsxxx files left in the directory. These .nfsxxx files are not eventually removed, they stay after the test fails. Looking at the network trace, I see the RENAME that creates the files but no REMOVE is issued for these files. Somehow, the client is forgetting to remove them. There are plenty of proper RENAME/REMOVE pairs in the trace, so maybe this is a race condition. I found the RENAMEs in the network trace for all the remaining .nfsxxx files. The names are: op_unlk, stat, op_ren, op_chmod, dupreq, excltest, negseek, rename, holey, truncate, nfsidem, rewind, telldir, bigfile, bigfile2, freesp These look like files created during the special tests. -- 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 ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{��w���jg��������ݢj����G�������j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
