We are working on our personal NFS File System version 3 Extension on Linux Kernel 2.6.34 and we have a problem. Our problem is: We want to add four 28-byte-chars to nfs_fattr struct to make my client read data in the inode from the server for each file/directory so encoded and decoded them in fs/nfs/nfs3xdr.c making them work. Our patch works. We worked on functions encode_fattr3(), decode_fattr(), and in costants: nfs3_fattr_sz (21+1+(NFS3_MAXTAGLEN>>2)*4) (located in fs/nfs/nfs3xdr.c), #define NFS3_POST_OP_ATTR_WORDS (22+1+(NFS3_MAXTAGLEN>>2)*4) (located in include/linux/nfs3.h). where NFS3_MAXTAGLEN is 28 (max number of chars writable in each field). When trying to list files in our nfs client directory, kernel returns ls: reading directory . : Input/Output Error even if from the dmesg log data seem transfering correctly. Could be a problem over 20 fields? We appreciate any help.
