From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit d10f27a750312ed5638c876e4bd6aa83664cccd8 upstream. The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply before it receives a request. It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket. Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not space, it then subtracts the estimate back out. This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is space after all. The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing server threads to loop without doing any actual work.
