X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~961^2~27 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=599eb3046a1380f31c65715f3940184c531c90cb;p=pandora-kernel.git knfsd: nfsd: Handle ERESTARTSYS from syscalls. OCFS2 can return -ERESTARTSYS from write requests (and possibly elsewhere) if there is a signal pending. If nfsd is shutdown (by sending a signal to each thread) while there is still an IO load from the client, each thread could handle one last request with a signal pending. This can result in -ERESTARTSYS which is not understood by nfserrno() and so is reflected back to the client as nfserr_io aka -EIO. This is wrong. Instead, interpret ERESTARTSYS to mean "try again later" by returning nfserr_jukebox. The client will resend and - if the server is restarted - the write will (hopefully) be successful and everyone will be happy. The symptom that I narrowed down to this was: copy a large file via NFS to an OCFS2 filesystem, and restart the nfs server during the copy. The 'cp' might get an -EIO, and the file will be corrupted - presumably holes in the middle where writes appeared to fail. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: J.
