testing NFS client workloads on a dual Pentium-III system running 2.6.11 with some NFS patches. i hit this oops while doing simple-minded ftps and tars.
the system locks up once or twice a day under this workload. this is the first time i had the console and captured the oops output.
Chuck, I didn't see any followup to this. Is it still happening in current kernels?
i have not been able to reproduce it with the aforementioned NFS patches removed. i'm now convinced it was a bug in one of the NFS patches i had applied, even though none of them come near the fraglist stuff, but i haven't had a chance to nail it down.
i had implemented a patch to cause the RPC client to reuse the port number when reconnecting to the server after the server drops the connection... this is a standard practice for other RPC implementations. i suspect it was that patch that was causing the trouble.
thanks for the follow-up!
