Comment 1 Steve Dickson 2023-08-07 20:52:40 UTC

Here is the problem

--      tmp = open(pathname, O_DIRECTORY);
-+      tmp = open(pathname, O_PATH|O_DIRECTORY);

I remove the O_PATH and everything started to
work... not clear as to way it needed in the
first place. 

I'm working on getting a scratch build.. I
get some goofy Python

Comment 2 Yongcheng Yang 2023-08-08 08:12:55 UTC

This issue has been fixed in nfs-utils-2.5.4-20.el9 now: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/8163907

Comment 3 Jeff Layton 2023-08-08 10:13:33 UTC

Looks like a reasonable fix. I think I only added O_PATH in order to make mountd's footprint lighter, but if the reproducer works without that, then it should be fine.
