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 f06f00a24d76e168ecb38d352126fd203937b601 upstream. svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply. However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look to the client like further read data. Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging something like kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket Reported-by: Malahal Naineni <malahal@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Malahal Naineni <malahal@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: J.
