There is a problem with nfs hang on my machine, Steps to reproduce: 1. echo "options sunrpc tcp_slot_table_entries=2" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf echo "options sunrpc tcp_max_slot_table_entries=2" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf and remount nfsv3: sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nolock,proto=tcp 127.0.0.1:/root/nfs_server/ /root/nfs_client/ 2.Run case # cat case.sh while true do ls & done & while true do killall ls done & [root@cuibixuan nfs_client]# cd /root/nfs_client/; sh case.sh 3. Run 'killall sh' to kill case after waiting 10 seconds 4. The nfs hang and xprt->state is 0x212(XPRT_CONGESTED): [root@cuibixuan sunrpc]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/rpc_xprt/4/info netid: tcp addr: 127.0.0.1 port: 2049 state: 0x212 [root@cuibixuan sunrpc]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/rpc_clnt/4/tasks 155 0080 -11 0x4 0x0 0 rpc_default_ops [sunrpc] nfsv3 GETATTR a:call_reserveresult [sunrpc] q:xprt_backlog 15418 0080 -11 0x4 0x0 0 rpc_default_ops [sunrpc] nfsv3 GETATTR a:call_reserveresult [sunrpc] q:xprt_backlog 5.
