6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 961b4b5e86bf56a2e4b567f81682defa5cba957e upstream. I noticed that once an NFSv4.1 callback operation gets a NFS4ERR_DELAY status on CB_SEQUENCE and then the connection is lost, the callback client loops, resending it indefinitely. The switch arm in nfsd4_cb_sequence_done() that handles NFS4ERR_DELAY uses rpc_restart_call() to rearm the RPC state machine for the retransmit, but that path does not call the rpc_prepare_call callback again. Thus cb_seq_status is set to -10008 by the first NFS4ERR_DELAY result, but is never set back to 1 for the retransmits. nfsd4_cb_sequence_done() thinks it's getting nothing but a long series of CB_SEQUENCE NFS4ERR_DELAY replies.
