Hi Ben! After addressing some IB stack issues that arose in v4.11-rc1, I was finally able to run my standard suite of NFS tests with v4.11-rc2. I found that part of the git regression suite fails with this kernel. Initially I start simply with NFSv3 and a tmpfs export. To prepare for the test, my script does something like this: $ cd /mnt/server $ tar zxf ~/Downloads/git-2.3.7.tgz $ cd git $ make clean $ make $ cd t Then, by hand: [cel@manet t]$ ./t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh ok 1 - New file ok 2 - Remove two files, add two and update two ok 3 - Fail to change binary more than one generation old ok 4 - Remove only binary files ok 5 - Remove only a text file ok 6 - New file with spaces in file name ok 7 - Update file with spaces in file name ok 8 - File with non-ascii file name ok 9 - Mismatching patch should fail ok 10 - Retain execute bit ok 11 - -w option should work with relative GIT_DIR ok 12 - check files before directories not ok 13 - re-commit a removed filename which remains in CVS attic # # # (cd "$CVSWORK" && # echo >attic_gremlin && # cvs -Q add attic_gremlin && # cvs -Q ci -m "added attic_gremlin" && # rm attic_gremlin && # cvs -Q rm attic_gremlin && # cvs -Q ci -m "removed attic_gremlin") && # # echo > attic_gremlin && # git add attic_gremlin && # git commit -m "Added attic_gremlin" && # git cvsexportcommit -w "$CVSWORK" -c HEAD && # (cd "$CVSWORK"; cvs -Q update -d) && # test -f "$CVSWORK/attic_gremlin" # not ok 14 - commit a file with leading spaces in the name # # # echo space > " space" && # git add " space" && # git commit -m "Add a file with a leading space" && # id=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && # git cvsexportcommit -w "$CVSWORK" -c $id && # check_entries "$CVSWORK" " space/1.1/|DS/1.1/|attic_gremlin/1.3/|release-notes/1.2/" && # test_cmp "$CVSWORK/ space" " space" # # ok 15 - use the same checkout for Git and CVS # failed 2 among 15 test(s) 1..15 [cel@manet t]$ A wire capture shows that some GETATTR operations receive an NFS3ERR_STALE response from the server. I looked at one of these, and it's against a renamed file "index.lock". So I reverted: commit 920b4530fb80430ff30ef83efe21ba1fa5623731 Author: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 1 00:00:07 2017 -0500 NFS: nfs_rename() handle -ERESTARTSYS dentry left behind And t9200 now passes: [cel@manet t]$ ./t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh ok 1 - New file ok 2 - Remove two files, add two and update two ok 3 - Fail to change binary more than one generation old ok 4 - Remove only binary files ok 5 - Remove only a text file ok 6 - New file with spaces in file name ok 7 - Update file with spaces in file name ok 8 - File with non-ascii file name ok 9 - Mismatching patch should fail ok 10 - Retain execute bit ok 11 - -w option should work with relative GIT_DIR ok 12 - check files before directories ok 13 - re-commit a removed filename which remains in CVS attic ok 14 - commit a file with leading spaces in the name ok 15 - use the same checkout for Git and CVS # passed all 15 test(s) 1..15 [cel@manet t]$ Wire capture shows no NFS3ERR_STALE results on the wire during the successful test run. -- Chuck Lever -- 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
