We are using NFS with our RTEMS system. We are getting the following print out
at times from the NFS subsystem:
NFS (proc 1) - RPC: Can't decode result
RPCIO WARNING sockRcv(): transaction mismatch
xact: xid 0x00336d76 -- got 0x00336376
xact: addr 0xc0a8fe65 -- got 0xc0a8fe65
xact: port 0x00000801 -- got 0x00000801
NFS (proc 1) - RPC: Can't decode result
NFS (proc 4) - RPC: Can't decode result
NFS (proc 8) - RPC: Can't decode result
NFS (proc 8) - RPC: Can't decode result
We are not sure why we get the RPC, Cant decode result, but this is not
necessarily the bad behavior. When this happens we notice that the number of
MBUFS available reduces and doesn't come back. Over a period of 1-2 days
eventually we run out of MBUFS and can no longer communicate with RTEMS.
Looking in the code, it is clear this error is produced from here:
rpcio.c
xdrmem_create(&reply_xdrs, xact->ibuf->buf, xact->ibufsize, XDR_DECODE);
// !!!!! We think the buffer is created
reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_verf = _null_auth;
reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_results.where = xact->pres;
reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_results.proc = xact->xres;
if (xdr_replymsg(&reply_xdrs, &reply_msg)) { // !!!!!!! This reply
message is not successful
/* OK */
_seterr_reply(&reply_msg, &xact->status);
if (RPC_SUCCESS == xact->status.re_status) {
if ( !locked_validate(xact->server,
&reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_verf)
) {
xact->status.re_status = RPC_AUTHERROR;
xact->status.re_why = AUTH_INVALIDRESP;
}
if (reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_verf.oa_base) {
reply_xdrs.x_op = XDR_FREE;
xdr_opaque_auth(&reply_xdrs,
&reply_msg.acpted_rply.ar_verf);
}
refresh = 0;
} else {
/* should we try to refresh our credentials ? */
if ( !refresh ) {
/* had never tried before */
refresh = RPCIOD_REFRESH;
}
}
} else {
reply_xdrs.x_op = XDR_FREE;
xdr_replymsg(&reply_xdrs, &reply_msg);
xact->status.re_status = RPC_CANTDECODERES; // !!!!!!!!! Here is
where the error is made that results in the print out
}
XDR_DESTROY(&reply_xdrs);
bufFree(&xact->ibuf); // !!!!!!!!!! I would have thought we free the mbuf
here (ie. This eventually results in the "MFREE" macro
But still, eventually, we run out of MBUFS and the system is inoperable. We are
running an old version of RTEMS (4.9.2) but even compared to the newer version
4.11 we can see any significant changes in this or the NFS related files that
would suggest a fix for this behavior. Is this well-known and is there a patch
for it?
