The problem is always reproducible. Identified potential root cause as kernel endian bug: In the function handle_session() variable @features always contains little endian order of bytes. Just because The feature mask sent by the MDS is little-endian (bits are packed bytewise from left to right in encode_supported_features()). However, test_bit(), called to check features availability, assumes the host order of bytes in that variable. This leads to problems on big endian architectures. Specifically it is impossible to mount ceph volume on s390. A fixup was proposed to convert little-endian order of bytes to the host one. That fixup was modified by ceph maintainers to use existing unpacking means for the conversion. The resulted patch attached.
