[Linux-cluster] problem exporting GFS2 filesystem with NFS

[Steven Whitehouse]

Hi,

This problem (NFS readdirplus bug) should be fixed in the upstream
kernel as well as FC-6. Its due to NFS' readdirplus calling the vfs stat
function (gfs2_getattr) for the '.' directory from readdir's filldir
callback. As a result it tried to lock the directory twice which
triggers the recursive locking check.

The URL of the fix is:

Please let me know if that doesn't cure the problem,

Steve.
