Maybe I have found the problem. The stateid and denied are defined as an union as, fs/nfsd/xdr4.h 145 struct nfsd4_lock_denied { 146 clientid_t ld_clientid; 147 struct xdr_netobj ld_owner; 148 u64 ld_start; 149 u64 ld_length; 150 u32 ld_type; 151 }; 152 153 struct nfsd4_lock { ... ... 174 /* response */ 175 union { 176 struct { 177 stateid_t stateid; 178 } ok; 179 struct nfsd4_lock_denied denied; 180 } u; 30 struct xdr_netobj { 31 unsigned int len; 32 u8 * data; 33 }; sizeof(stateid_t) = 16, sizeof(clientid_t) = 8, sizeof(struct xdr_netobj) = 16, (on x86_x64 platform), sizeof(struct xdr_netobj) = 8, (on i686 platform) Lock file success, nfsd will copy stateid to the union, but the value also influence denied. If on x86_64 platform, only influence the len in xdr_netobj, but on i686 platform, will influence the len and the data in xdr_netobj. So, the problem only appears on i686 platform. thanks, Kinglong Mee -- 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
