This is from linux, and the core dump I had was from "gcore" in gdb. I didn't think to get one from the fileserver as well, but I wish I had now.


Well, me, too. :-)
I had that kind of behavior a few times on AIX servers and monitored the traffic. There were no callbacks the system was waiting for. I didn't have a core dump either. back then I assumed it must have been some weirdness in the filehandle handling, since that's what the processing of FSYNC_askfs implies besides your point. The complete FSYNC communication stopped for no "good" reason. I never got to the bottom of it.

There are a few places in the code how one can stop the execution of some FSYNC_xxx calls but nothing I considered suspicious enough to further investigate.

On a somewhat separate note: this logic is using an inet domain socket
which is in fact reachable via the network (at least by other hosts
on the same network segment). It should probably be using a unix domain
socket instead, and that could also simplify some of the other logic.



This in deed was pointed out some time ago on this list. But the issue never came up again, so the whole thing maybe got forgotten.
