Any chance the STALE_CLIENTID case needs a 'break'?
I don't think so. LEASE_CONFIRM is set, and we want to wake the state renewal thread.
Twice I've seen kernel crashes after the nfs40_walk_client_list
failed (though code comments say it should never fail).
nfs40_walk_client_list() is looking for an nfs_client that is supposed to already be in the nfs_client list. If the search fails, that's a bug.
Eyeball the contents of your nfs_client list. You should find an appropriate nfs_client in there, and then figure out why the search doesn't find it.
Ok, I think I found another issue.
nfs4_client_init does not initialize 'old', but passes it to nfs4_discover_server_trunking.
That gets passed to the detect_trunking operation, which is nfs40_discover_server_trunking
or nfs41_discover_server_trunking.
Yes, *result is an output parameter, not an input parameter.
This will call walk_client_list, which also may not ever assign a value to
'result'.
It should always assign *result in the SUCCESS case.
The code in walk_client_list always dereferences result, however.
So, that is probably why my system blows up shortly after the 'impossible'
error message...
In particular, nfs4_walk_client_list() does not set *result when it returns NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID. In nfs4_discover_server_trunking(), should we therefore have this:
status = nfs40_walk_client_list(clp, result, cred);
switch (status) {
case -NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID:
set_bit(NFS4CLNT_LEASE_CONFIRM, &clp->cl_state);
nfs4_schedule_state_renewal(clp);
break;
case 0:
I'm not sure the nfs4_schedule_state_renewal() call is necessary here.
I'm not sure I follow you entirely..but I'm going to start testing this patch in
a minute. Looks like it should fix my crash, and maybe give clues about
why we get to the error case in the first place.
