I tracked down the cause of my mysterious Sun RPC / NIS failures. These
appeared with the 2.1.127-pre3 patches, and have been relentless. Turns
out that there's a conflict between one of HJ's kernel patches (supplied
with knfsd-1022) and the recent scheduler changes. I've not yet tracked
down exactly which one, but suspect the mods to sunrpc/sched.c and
sched.h.
All I can verify at the moment is that 2.1.127-pre7 without knfsd has
an operational RPC layer.
HJ, you may want to look over the entire set of kernel patches? I'm a bit
concerned that none of them have been picked up (or even commented on) by
Linus. You seem convinced that they are (or were) necessary, so perhaps
you and he should communicate on this matter prior to 2.2 release?
Since many folks are likely to apply the knfsd kernel patches in their
efforts at migrating to knfsd, certainly this show-stopper with RPC ought
be addressed.
