On some of our bookworm systems I've seen what looked like a file descriptor
leak. Sample lsof output:
[...]
rpc.idmap 675 root 126r DIR 0,40 0 10813
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11e6 (deleted)
rpc.idmap 675 root 127u FIFO 0,40 0t0 10817
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11e6/idmap (deleted)
rpc.idmap 675 root 128r DIR 0,40 0 10834
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11ef (deleted)
rpc.idmap 675 root 129u FIFO 0,40 0t0 10838
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11ef/idmap (deleted)
rpc.idmap 675 root 130r DIR 0,40 0 10855
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11f8 (deleted)
rpc.idmap 675 root 131u FIFO 0,40 0t0 10859
/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt11f8/idmap (deleted)
Cranking up the verbosity level to 3 showed that dirscancb never reaps stale
entries in its queue (no "Stale client" lines). The reason turns out to be that
the scan terminates on the first directory entry that doesn't contain an
"idmap" file. Applying the attached patch seems to have solved the problem for
me.
As far as I can tell the bug is still present upstream, and has been for many
years (that "goto out" is from 2007 and replaced a "return" so the bug is even
older than that).
Marking "important" since this has actually caused observable problems in our
environment.

Subject: rpc.idmapd: nfsopen() failures should not be fatal
dirscancb() loops over all clnt* subdirectories of /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/.
Some of these directories contain /idmap files, others don't. nfsopen()
returns -1 for the latter; we then want to skip the directory, not abort
the entire scan.
