2.6.4-rc1-bk3 knfsd V3 readdir problems (missing files) and OOPS

[Norbert Kiesel]

Hi,

I have problems with knfsd and large directories.  I have a directory
containing 2038 files on my Linux server which is mounted from a Solaris
server.  If mounting with -o 'vers=3', "ls | wc -l" only reports 639 of
these files.  Mounting with 'vers=2' works fine.  'proto=udp' or
'proto=tcp' does not make a difference. I sniffed on the network and I
don't see the missing filenames in the datastream sent, so I assume it's
really a Linux problem. "cat" of these missing files works.

Environment is Linux version 2.6.4-rc1-bk3 (nkiesel@defiant) (gcc
version 3.3.3 (Debian)), self-compiled unpatched kernel,
# grep NFS /boot/config-2.6.4-rc1-bk3
CONFIG_NFS_FS=m
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFS_V4 is not set
# CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO is not set
CONFIG_NFSD=m
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not set
CONFIG_NFSD_TCP=y

Small directories (<100 files) work fine.  While trying to find the
exact number of files where it breaks, I started removing and adding
files to  large test directory.  This resulted in the following OOPS
(sorry my stupid mailer insists on breaking long lines):
