Reported by Klemens Senn <klemens.senn@ims.co.at>: I started setting up NFS over RDMA on a OpenSUSE 12.3 machine using the 3.7.10-1.16-default kernel. Mounting the NFS share works and getting a file with 812 Bytes succeeds. Reading 813 Bytes raises a Input/output error. The export on the server side is done with /data 172.16.100.0/24(rw,wdelay,crossmnt,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,mountpoint) Following command is used for mounting the NFSv4 share: mount -t nfs -o port=20049,rdma,vers=4.0,timeo=900 172.16.100.2:/ /mnt/ Testing the client side with older kernels stated that the mount is working properly with the 3.4.67 kernel. I continued testing with the 3.10.17 kernel and enabled the debug level and noticed the message "server cheating in read reply: count 813 > recvd 0" Here is the syslog output: NFS: read(//813_bytes, 262144@0) NFS: nfs_readpage (ffffea001db1e898 4096@0) NFS: 0 initiated read call (req 0:33/70, 813 bytes @ offset 0) RPC: new task initialized, procpid 9881 RPC: allocated task ffff88105dacabf8 RPC: 1631 __rpc_execute flags=0x1 <-- nfs4_setup_sequence status=0 RPC: 1631 call_start nfs4 proc READ (async) RPC: 1631 call_reserve (status 0) RPC: 1631 reserved req ffff88085e641c00 xid 3f6a89a6 RPC: 1631 call_reserveresult (status 0) RPC: 1631 call_refresh (status 0) RPC: 1631 refreshing UNIX cred ffff88087c2108c0 RPC: 1631 call_refreshresult (status 0) RPC: 1631 call_allocate (status 0) RPC: xprt_rdma_allocate: size 684, request 0xffff88084a342000 RPC: 1631 call_bind (status 0) RPC: 1631 call_connect xprt ffff88085f297000 is connected RPC: 1631 call_transmit (status 0) RPC: 1631 xprt_prepare_transmit RPC: 1631 xprt_cwnd_limited cong = 0 cwnd = 4096 RPC: 1631 rpc_xdr_encode (status 0) RPC: 1631 marshaling UNIX cred ffff88087c2108c0 RPC: 1631 using AUTH_UNIX cred ffff88087c2108c0 to wrap rpc data RPC: 1631 xprt_transmit(144) RPC: rpcrdma_inline_pullup: pad 0 destp 0xffff88084a3437f0 len 144 hdrlen 144 RPC: rpcrdma_register_frmr_external: Using frmr ffff88084b612d10 to map 1 segments RPC: rpcrdma_create_chunks: write chunk elem 813@0x87bf95000:0x8a905 (more) RPC: rpcrdma_register_frmr_external: Using frmr ffff88084b612d38 to map 1 segments RPC: rpcrdma_create_chunks: write chunk elem 152@0x84a343974:0x8aa01 (last) RPC: rpcrdma_marshal_req: write chunk: hdrlen 68 rpclen 144 padlen 0 headerp 0xffff88084a343100 base 0xffff88084a343760 lkey 0x8000 RPC: rpcrdma_event_process: event rep ffff88084b612d10 status 0 opcode 8 length 4294936584 RPC: rpcrdma_event_process: event rep ffff88084b612d38 status 0 opcode 8 length 4294936584 RPC: 1631 xmit complete RPC: 1631 sleep_on(queue "xprt_pending" time 4296115067) RPC: 1631 added to queue ffff88085f297258 "xprt_pending" RPC: 1631 setting alarm for 90000 ms RPC: wake_up_first(ffff88085f297190 "xprt_sending") RPC: rpcrdma_event_process: event rep ffff88085e8bf000 status 0 opcode 80 length 128 RPC: rpcrdma_reply_handler: reply 0xffff88085e8bf000 completes request 0xffff88084a342000 RPC request 0xffff88085e641c00 xid 0xa6896a3f RPC: rpcrdma_count_chunks: chunk 813@0x87bf95000:0x8a905 RPC: rpcrdma_count_chunks: chunk 3@0x84a343974:0x8aa01 RPC: rpcrdma_inline_fixup: srcp 0xffff88085e8bf0a4 len 60 hdrlen 60 RPC: rpcrdma_reply_handler: xprt_complete_rqst(0xffff88085f297000, 0xffff88085e641c00, 876) RPC: 1631 xid 3f6a89a6 complete (876 bytes received) RPC: 1631 __rpc_wake_up_task (now 4296115067) RPC: 1631 disabling timer RPC: 1631 removed from queue ffff88085f297258 "xprt_pending" RPC: __rpc_wake_up_task done RPC: 1631 __rpc_execute flags=0x801 RPC: 1631 call_status (status 876) RPC: 1631 call_decode (status 876) RPC: 1631 validating UNIX cred ffff88087c2108c0 RPC: 1631 using AUTH_UNIX cred ffff88087c2108c0 to unwrap rpc data NFS: server cheating in read reply: count 813 > recvd 0 RPC: 1631 call_decode result 0 NFS: nfs_readpage_result: 1631, (status 0) --> nfs4_read_done Adding other debug prints to the kernel module told me that buf->page_len is set to 0 in xdr_align_pages (in file net/sunrpc/xdr.c). Comparing this piece of code with older kernel versions showed that the comparison with buf->page_len was introduces in kernel 3.7. By disabling this check the file transfer seems to work.
