Hi folks, I just noticed the following WARNING in my logs. Looking through the older logs, I see quite a few of these going (at least) all the way back to 3.3.x days. The process which triggers the warning always seems to be the same (icecat). This is on a Linux 3.5.2 NFSv4 client machine using sec=krb5. Other than the log noise, there seems to be no adverse effects. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /home/nbowler/misc/linux/fs/inode.c:280 drop_nlink+0x23/0x44() Hardware name: System Product Name Modules linked in: sha1_ssse3 sha1_generic hmac aes_x86_64 aes_generic cbc cts rpcsec_gss_krb5 nfs lockd auth_rpcgss nfs_acl sunrpc ipv6 nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat w83627ehf hwmon_vid snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss acpi_cpufreq mperf i915 drm_kms_helper drm snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek arc4 ath9k mac80211 ath9k_common ath9k_hw intel_agp i2c_algo_bit intel_gtt snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm snd_timer coretemp agpgart hwmon kvm_intel snd ath cfg80211 soundcore snd_page_alloc i2c_i801 r8169 mii psmouse kvm evdev video sg Pid: 1995, comm: icecat Not tainted 3.5.2 #46 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8102b8b3>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 [<ffffffff8102b8e0>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 [<ffffffff810c5195>] drop_nlink+0x23/0x44 [<ffffffffa03aa2a1>] nfs_dentry_iput+0x35/0x4d [nfs] [<ffffffff810c25d0>] dentry_kill+0x149/0x171 [<ffffffff810c2850>] dput+0xed/0xfe [<ffffffff810b2ff4>] fput+0x1a5/0x1bd [<ffffffff810b0454>] filp_close+0x6b/0x76 [<ffffffff810b04f1>] sys_close+0x92/0xd4 [<ffffffff8131efa2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace b160c7dc08b4910c ]--- Please let me know if you need any more info, -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/) -- 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
