From: Paul Menzel <pmenzel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3b2d4dcf71c4a91b420f835e52ddea8192300a3b upstream. Since commit 10a68cdf10 (nfsd: fix performance-limiting session calculation) (Linux 5.1-rc1 and 4.19.31), shares from NFS servers with 1 TB of memory cannot be mounted anymore. The mount just hangs on the client. The gist of commit 10a68cdf10 is the change below. -avail = clamp_t(int, avail, slotsize, avail/3); +avail = clamp_t(int, avail, slotsize, total_avail/3); Here are the macros. #define min_t(type, x, y) __careful_cmp((type)(x), (type)(y), <) #define clamp_t(type, val, lo, hi) min_t(type, max_t(type, val, lo), hi) `total_avail` is 8,434,659,328 on the 1 TB machine. `clamp_t()` casts the values to `int`, which for 32-bit integers can only hold values −2,147,483,648 (−2^31) through 2,147,483,647 (2^31 − 1). `avail` (in the function signature) is just 65536, so that no overflow was happening. Before the commit the assignment would result in 21845, and `num = 4`. When using `total_avail`, it is causing the assignment to be 18446744072226137429 (printed as %lu), and `num` is then 4164608182. My next guess is, that `nfsd_drc_mem_used` is then exceeded, and the server thinks there is no memory available any more for this client. Updating the arguments of `clamp_t()` and `min_t()` to `unsigned long` fixes the issue. Now, `avail = 65536` (before commit 10a68cdf10 `avail = 21845`), but `num = 4` remains the same.
