Cthon basic test 6 fails over NFS v4

Cthon basic test 6 fails over NFS v4

Client: Linux 2.6.38-rc2 x86_64
Server: OpenSolaris 5.11 snv_134
NFS version: 4.0

Connectathon basic test 6 fails over NFSv4, but not over NFSv3.

[cel@matisse cthon04]$ ./server -b
Start tests on path /mnt/klimt/matisse.test [y/n]? y

sh ./runtests  -b -t /mnt/klimt/matisse.test

Starting BASIC tests: test directory /mnt/klimt/matisse.test (arg: -t)

./test1: File and directory creation test
	created 155 files 62 directories 5 levels deep in 2.25 seconds
	./test1 ok.

./test2: File and directory removal test
	removed 155 files 62 directories 5 levels deep in 1.30 seconds
	./test2 ok.

Tests failed, leaving /mnt/klimt mounted
[cel@matisse cthon04]$

"ls /mnt/klimt/matisse.test" shows the series of test files, missing the three called out above.

"ls /share/test/matisse.test" on the server shows all of the files, including the three called out above.

Unmounting and mounting /mnt/klimt/matisse.test shows the same result (these three missing).  A network trace captured during the "ls" shows that these files are returned by the server.

Unmounting and mounting /mnt/klimt/matisse.test with "vers=3" shows an identical list of files as "ls" on the server, and Cthon test 6 works fine over vers=3.

This failure is 100% reproducible: always three files are missing, but not always the same three.

Evidence suggests a problem with the client's NFSv4 readdir result decoder logic, but I wanted to check to see if anyone has a fix or suggestions about where to look first.
