Oops in rpciod when building procmail from an NFS client

Oops in rpciod when building procmail from an NFS client

Hi Folks,

 

I am getting following oops while building procmail utility from the NFS
mounted share when build from the NFS client.

The NFS server oopses in rpciod during the "Benchmarking your system's
strstr () implementation" step.

 

I am using the following configurations for NFS client and server:

NFS client configuration: kernel version - 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

NFS server configuration: kernel version - 2.4.19

Procmail version: v3.22

 

When I encountered the following oops I didn't kill the build process on
the client, and when I rebooted the server the build progressed a little
bit beyond where it was when the server crashed, and then the NFS server
oopsed again. I tried to kill the process again on the client (via
ctrl-c, ctrl-z), since it was unresponsive due to running off a mount to
the server while the server was unavailable; so instead I just killed
the console in the hopes that would kill the process tree including the
one stuck on the server mount. I rebooted the server again, and within a
minute or so it crashed yet again, seemingly spontaneously; and this
occurred again after another reboot. I checked the processes on the
client and found several stuck "_locktst /tmp/_locktest ./_locktest"
processes. These processes were in clusters of about 6 processes with
contiguous PIDs, and there were about the same number of these clusters
as the number of times I'd run the procmail make and oopsed the server.
Once I killed all these _locktst processes and rebooted the server
again, the oopsing stopped.

 

The oops:

There is also a kernel panic that follows this.

 

Is there any patch available which fixes this nfs issue??? I would
appreciate if anyone tells me 

where should I get the patch (if available) to resolve this issue.

The oops you posted doesn't look familiar to me, but this kernel is
truly ancient. Fedora Core 4 is well past its end of life. I'd suggest
updating to Fedora 7 or 8 and seeing if your problem is still
reproducible.

This is a very old kernel.  It is very possible that there is a patch
since then, but it is also possible that it was so long ago that
no-one has a clear memory of it and no-one feels like hunting it down
for you.

I recommend upgrading to a more recent kernel - 2.6.20 at least, and
if the problem persists, report again.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
