[the same /dev, /proc and /sys] Very interesting. Do you have anything mounted on the corresponding directories on server? The picture looks like you are getting empty fhandles in readdir+ respons for exactly the same directories that happen to be mountpoints on client. In any case, we shouldn't do that blind d_drop() - empty fhandles can happen. The only remaining question is why do they happen on that set of entries. From my reading of encode_entryplus_baggage() it looks like we have compose_entry_fh() failing for those entries and those entries alone. One possible cause would be d_mountpoint(dchild) being true on server. If it is true, we can declare the case closed; if not, I really wonder what's going on. Note that if the same fs is mounted elsewhere, d_mountpoint() would mean that something is mounted on top of that directory in _some_ instance; not necessary the exported one. Can you slap printks on fs/nfsd/nfs3xdr.c compose_entry_fh() failure exits and see which one triggers server-side? -- 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
