Bug#589945: Acknowledgement (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: NFS client hangs)

11-04-2010, 02:39 PM

The upstream bug (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16494) has been fixed in Linux kernel 2.6.36 by this ChangeSet:

commit 669502ff31d7dba1849aec7ee2450a3c61f57d39
Author: Andy Chittenden <andyc.bluearc@gmail.com>
Date: Tue Aug 10 10:19:53 2010 -0400

SUNRPC: fix NFS client over TCP hangs due to packet loss (Bug 16494)

When reusing a TCP connection, ensure that it's aborted if a previous
shutdown attempt has been made on that connection so that the RPC over
TCP recovery mechanism succeeds.

How do we get that change into the 2.6.32 debian packages for squeeze and sid?

I've just applied it; it should go into package version 2.6.32-28.

Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

We're releasing new versions about every 2 weeks.
