[1.] One line summary of the problem:    

Can't call mkdir() on 2.6.19-r3 nfsd


[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

When I call "mkdir foo" on an nfs mounted volume, the strace of mkdir shows

    mkdir("foo", 0777)                      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

and the command fails. But if I do a "ls -ld foo" afterwards, the directory got
created:

    drwxr-xr-x 2 ingo ingo 4096 2006-11-01 02:54 foo

The server is running 2.6.19-rc3, the client 2.6.18. The version of the
nfs-kernel-server ist 1.0.10. This did work with 2.6.18 as nfs server.


[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

nfsd, mkdir, EPERM, 2.6.19-rc3


[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 2.6.19-rc3-pinguin20061024.1 (ingo@pinguin) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060901 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-13)) #1 SMP Tue Oct 24 16:47:01 CEST 2006


[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information 
     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

n/a, strace see above.


[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)

mkdir foo


[7.] Environment

[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)

The nfs server is Debian testing, nfs-kernel-server version 1.0.10-2.

Please tell me if you think any of these are relevant.


[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
       (please look in /proc and include all information that you
       think to be relevant):

The kernel is compiled for the x86_64 arch, the userspace and the nfs
kernel server code is still compiled for i386. The exported filesystems
are all ext3.
