Issue

  • NFSv4 client keeps using the stale stateid after current clientid is obtained

  • While testing nfs client with ganesha NFS server (NFSv4), we have encountered a number of incidences where the client keeps using the stale stateid (stateid obtined in the previous clientid incarnation), though it already has the new clientid.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) (NFS client)
    • Seen on RHEL6.2 (2.6.32-220.*el6) and RHEL6.3 (2.6.32-279.*el6) kernels
  • NFSv4
  • ganesha NFS server
