Updated 18.04 machine to 5.4.0-110-generic #124~18.04.1-Ubuntu and nfs bug is fixed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971482 Title: Regression: nfs cannot access/list wildcard file unless its cached when there is a symlink in path Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Impish: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Kinetic: Invalid Bug description: Some of our build machines have recently started failing builds. It was noted that all the machines that fail the build are running the most recent kernel 5.4.0-109-generic #123~18.04.1-Ubuntu. The following command was created to minimally reproduce the issue: $ while true; do sudo /usr/local/scripts/drop_cache.sh; ls -la /shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq*.ipk | tee -a /tmp/ls.log 2>&1; sleep 1;done ls: cannot access '/shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq*.ipk': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq*.ipk': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq*.ipk': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq*.ipk': No such file or directory Note directly trying to list the file works every time, it seems the bug must be related to the use of the wildcard. $ while true; do sudo /usr/local/scripts/drop_cache.sh; ls -la /shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq_1.0.9323-r3_cortexa9hf-neon.ipk | tee -a /tmp/ls.log 2>&1; sleep 1;done -rw-r--r-- 1 jenkins engineer 202526 May 2 13:47 /shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq_1.0.9323-r3_cortexa9hf-neon.ipk -rw-r--r-- 1 jenkins engineer 202526 May 2 13:47 /shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq_1.0.9323-r3_cortexa9hf-neon.ipk -rw-r--r-- 1 jenkins engineer 202526 May 2 13:47 /shared/projects/MityCAM-jenkins/intermediates/MityCAM-Yocto/latest/libdaq_1.0.9323-r3_cortexa9hf-neon.ipk The drop_cache was needed to force the error everytime, otherwise it would fail only a few times then succeed a bunch in a row before randomly failing again. $ cat /usr/local/scripts/drop_cache.sh #!/bin/bash # Test script to drop filesystem cache sync # Clear pagecache, dentries, and inodes echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches Downgrading the kernel to 5.4.0-107-generic on one of the machines caused the problem to go away.
