It looks to me as if the legacy upcall code is assuming that there can be no more than 1 upcall at a time: there is only a single idmap->idmap_key_cons, which gets assigned in nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall and then read in idmap_pipe_downcall. Bryan, can you look into this? I suspect that we need a mutex or something like that (for the legacy upcall case only) to ensure that nobody overwrites the idmap->idmap_key_cons while an upcall is in progress. Andre, if you want idmapper scalability, then you should rather use the new idmapper upcall. You need a recent version of the nfs-utils package, the keyutils package, and they you should add an 'id_resolver' line to /etc/request-keys.conf as per the nfsidmap manpage.
