When a directory contains 18 files (includes . and ..), nfs client sends a redundant readdir request after get eof. A simple reproduce, At NFS server, create a directory with 18 files under exported directory. # mkdir test # cd test # for i in {0..16} ; do touch $i; done At NFS client, no matter mounting through nfsv3 or nfsv4, does ls (or ll) at the created test directory. A tshark output likes following, # tshark -i eth0 tcp port 2049 -Tfields -e ip.src -e ip.dst -e nfs -e nfs.cookie4 srcip dstip SEQUENCE, PUTFH, READDIR 0 dstip srcip SEQUENCE PUTFH READDIR 909539109313539306,2108391201987888856,2305312124304486544,2566335452463141496,2978225129081509984,4263037479923412583,4304697173036510679,4666703455469210097,4759208201298769007,4776701232145978803,5338408478512081262,5949498658935544804,5971526429894832903,6294060338267709855,6528840566229532529,8600463293536422524,9223372036854775807 srcip dstip srcip dstip SEQUENCE, PUTFH, READDIR 9223372036854775807 dstip srcip SEQUENCE PUTFH READDIR The READDIR with cookie 9223372036854775807(0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) is redundant.
