In frame 9 of nfs-v4.2-krb5.pcap, the server responds to PUTFH with
NFS4ERR_STALE, so nothing to do with the open stateid sequencing. I also
see:
nfsd-1693 [000] ..... 1951.353889: nfsd_exp_find_key: fsid=1::{0x0,0xe5fcf0,0xffffc900,0x811e87a3,0xffffffff,0xe5fd00} domain=gss/krb5i status=-2
nfsd-1693 [000] ..... 1951.353889: nfsd_set_fh_dentry_badexport: xid=0xe1511810 fh_hash=0x3f9e713a status=-2
nfsd-1693 [000] ..... 1951.353890: nfsd_compound_status: op=2/4 OP_PUTFH status=70
.. so nfsd's exp_find_key() is having trouble and returns -ENOENT. Does
this look familiar to anyone?
I am not as familiar with how the server operates here, so my next step
would be to start inserting trace_printk's into the kernel source to figure
out what's going wrong in there. However, we can also use the function
graph tracer to see where the kernel is going. That would look like:
echo exp_find_key > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_graph_function
echo 7 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/max_graph_depth
echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
.. reproduce
cat /sys/kernel/debut/tracing/trace
Hopefully someone with more knfsd/sunrpc experience recognizes this.. but it
makes a lot more sense now that krb5 is part of the problem.
