Hi,
I have some directories where I run reproducible into infinite
getdents64 loop. This happens whith kernels >=2.6.37 on clients and
just doing ls or find on that dirs.
The "broken" dirs are mostly very large with >200000 files.
While copying such dir within the underlying fs (ext4) keeps that odd
behavior it's not easy to create one on another exported filesystem.
Sometimes I could "repair" such dir by just finding the right single
file to remove. But there was nothing special with that file.
I could track down the problem to:
commit 0b26a0bf6ff398185546432420bb772bcfdf8d94

NFS: Ensure we return the dirent->d_type when it is known
After reverting the problem is gone.
cu,
Rudi
