I looked at this a bit more.
I am currently wondering about the comment in nfs/nfs_subs.c
nfs_getattrcache(), which says: "XXX n_mtime doesn't seem to be
updated on a miss-and-reload". Peter added it in version 1.54,
when he redid much of this function.
Dumping the three numbers in the check, I get this:
if ((time_second - np->n_attrstamp) >= timeo) {
printf("%s: miss. time_second=%d, n_attrstamp=%d, timeo=%d\n",
__FUNCTION__,time_second, np->n_attrstamp, timeo);
nfsstats.attrcache_misses++;
return (ENOENT);
}
nfs_getattrcache: miss. time_second=909863755, n_attrstamp=909863755, timeo=0
nfs_getattrcache: miss. time_second=909863755, n_attrstamp=909863755, timeo=0
nfs_getattrcache: miss. time_second=909863755, n_attrstamp=909863755, timeo=0
nfs_getattrcache: miss. time_second=909863755, n_attrstamp=909863755, timeo=0
nfs_getattrcache: miss. time_second=909863755, n_attrstamp=909863755, timeo=0
I then added a printf after the if(), and got a bunch of these:
nfs_getattrcache: hit. time_second=909864329, n_attrstamp=909864319, timeo=60
nfs_getattrcache: hit. time_second=909864329, n_attrstamp=909864319, timeo=60
nfs_getattrcache: hit. time_second=909864329, n_attrstamp=909864319, timeo=60
So, the question then becomes, "why is the timeout set to 0"? On all the
file/directories in the filesystem, it is set to 60. However, the mount
point itself is being set to 0. This results in a UDP message from the
kernel to amd, which then sends a UDP reply back to the kernel using its
info.
However, that brings us back to the comment...
