Hi Bruce,

The upstream has merged your git tree for-3.14, but there is no this patch?
Do you forget this patch?

Apologies, I'm not sure what happened.

Looking back at it.... The patch causes all my pynfs reboot recovery
tests to fail. They're just doing a "systemctl restart
nfs-server.service", and "systemctl status nfs-server.service" shows in
part

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS $RPCNFSDCOUNT (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

So the patch is causing rpc.nfsd to fail? No network namespaces should
be involved.

I haven't investigated any further.


Hi Bruce,
Are you sure, that exactly this patch broke your pynfs tests?
BTW, systemd manipulates namespaces. Maybe the patch revealed some pynfs internal bugs?
What do you think?

Thanks!

There could be a case, when NFSd file system is mounted in network, different
to socket's one, like below:

"ip netns exec" creates new network and mount namespace, which duplicates NFSd
mount point, created in init_net context. And thus NFS server stop in nested
network context leads to RPCBIND client destruction in init_net.
Then, on NFSd start in nested network context, rpc.nfsd process creates socket
in nested net and passes it into "write_ports", which leads to RPCBIND sockets
creation in init_net context because of the same reason (NFSd monut point was
created in init_net context). An attempt to register passed socket in nested
net leads to panic, because no RPCBIND client present in nexted network
namespace.

So it's the attempt to use a NULL ->rpcb_local_clnt4?

Interesting, thanks--applying with a minor fix to logged message.
