Eric ran across an excessive stack with this (and a bunch of xfs code) to blame. Untested. I don't know whether it's worth the minor extra work here to avoid the alloc/free on each entry. nfsd4_encode_fattr will need the same treatment. --b. commit 5b35a1f99f999555e82420e687e9d079ae796547 Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 9 16:24:35 2014 -0500 nfsd: fix encode_entryplus_baggage stack usage We stick an extra svc_fh in nfsd3_readdirres to save the need to kmalloc, though maybe it would be fine to kmalloc instead.
