I believe I am close to finding the actual bug, but there is some code in the NFS server that is confusing me. Here is linux-2.6.35/fs/nfsd/vfs.c, lines 212-227 (in function nfsd_lookup_dentry): } else { fh_lock(fhp); dentry = lookup_one_len(name, dparent, len); host_err = PTR_ERR(dentry); if (IS_ERR(dentry)) goto out_nfserr; /* * check if we have crossed a mount point ... */ if (nfsd_mountpoint(dentry, exp)) { if ((host_err = nfsd_cross_mnt(rqstp, &dentry, &exp))) { dput(dentry); goto out_nfserr; } } } Shouldn't there be a call to "fh_unlock()" to match the call to "fh_lock()"? Can anyone tell me where the corresponding fh_unlock() call appears, or if it does not appear, why it is not needed?
