Session creation). I don't think the spec actually gives us an error that we can use to say a CREATE_SESSION failed permanently for lack of resources. Better would be to avoid the need to fail at all. Possibilities: - revive Trond's patches some time back to do dynamic slot size renegotiation - make sure the systems you're testing on already have de766e570413 and 44d8660d3bb0 applied. - further liberalise the limits here: do we need them at all, or should we just wait till a kmalloc fails? Or maybe take a hybrid approach?: e.g. allow an arbitrary number of clients and only limit slots & slotsizes. --b. > > Signed-off-by: Manjunath Patil <manjunath.b.patil@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > index 8571414..3734e08 100644 > --- a/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c > @@ -2716,7 +2716,7 @@ static __be32 check_forechannel_attrs(struct nfsd4_channel_attrs *ca, struct nfs > */ > ca->maxreqs = nfsd4_get_drc_mem(ca); > if (!ca->maxreqs) > - return nfserr_jukebox; > + return nfserr_nospc; > > return nfs_ok; > } > -- > 1.8.3.1 > > -- > 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 -- 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
