Hi,
I started setting up NFS over RDMA on a OpenSUSE 12.3 machine using the
3.7.10-1.16-default kernel.
Mounting the NFS share works and getting a file with 812 Bytes succeeds.
Reading 813 Bytes raises a Input/output error.
The export on the server side is done with
/data
172.16.100.0/24(rw,wdelay,crossmnt,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,mountpoint)
Following command is used for mounting the NFSv4 share:
mount -t nfs -o port=20049,rdma,vers=4.0,timeo=900 172.16.100.2:/ /mnt/
Testing the client side with older kernels stated that the mount is
working properly with the 3.4.67 kernel. I continued testing with the
3.10.17 kernel and enabled the debug level and noticed the message
"server cheating in read reply: count 813 > recvd 0"
Here is the syslog output:

Adding other debug prints to the kernel module told me that
buf->page_len is set to 0 in xdr_align_pages (in file net/sunrpc/xdr.c).
Comparing this piece of code with older kernel versions showed that the
comparison with buf->page_len was introduces in kernel 3.7.
By disabling this check the file transfer seems to work.
Here is the patch for kernel 3.10.17:
--- net/sunrpc/xdr.c 2013-10-18 19:44:19.000000000 +0200
+++ net/sunrpc/xdr_new.c 2013-11-08 14:06:00.241217773 +0100
@@ -747,7 +747,7 @@
nwords = xdr->nwords;
len = nwords << 2;
}
- if (buf->page_len <= len)
+ if (buf->page_len && buf->page_len <= len)
len = buf->page_len;
else if (nwords < xdr->nwords) {
/* Truncate page data and move it into the tail */
Can you please tell me which entity sets (or does not set) the total
length (buf->page_len) after receiving the data from the RDMA_SEND
operation from the server?
Please advise
