I posted about this a few days ago, but this time the patches applied
are minimal and there are no out-of-tree kernel modules loaded.
I have to have the NFS patches (see below) for this test case to run
at all.
Test case is 2500 macvlans, each with a file-IO process running
on it doing writing on it's own mountpoint. This is using NFSv4,
O_DIRECT, and 10k write() calls (and each file is 10k long, so
open/close file operations as well. Smaller files and write sizes
showed the problem as well.
The bug is most easily hit during my application's restart, where interfaces
are being (re)configured and the file-io processes are being
started. This includes changes to: IP addrs, routes, ip routing rules,
mount/unmount operations, etc.
I suspect it may be some sort of race between tearing down the IP protocol
and having traffic currently being received on that
interface. I have not been able to hit this using HTTP traffic,
but perhaps that is just part of the race and not a particular
problem with NFS.
The patches applied on top of 3.7.3 are some NFS crash fixes Trond posted
last Friday and my own patches I just posted to linux-nfs:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg34811.html
If anyone has any suggestions for how to further debug this,
please let me know.
All of the crashes are in the same place, but the value of
the bad address changes...sometimes appears as if NULL were
dereferenced...
