RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

patch for linux-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64

Description of problem:

When mounting NFSv4 filesystem, NFS client's kernel panic for a BUG_ON at
__rpc_create_common().

  The panic place is:
    rpc_mkpipe
      __rpc_lookup_create()          <=== find pipefile *idmap*
      __rpc_mkpipe()                 <=== pipefile is *idmap*
        __rpc_create_common()
          ******  BUG_ON(!d_unhashed(dentry)); ******    *panic*

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
kernel-2.6.32-71

How reproducible:
# cat /etc/exports
/nfsv4        *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

# mkdir -p /nfsv4

# service nfs restart

# cat mount-panic.sh
#!/bin/sh
LOOPTOTAL=768
LOOPCOUNT=0
while [ $LOOPCOUNT -ne $LOOPTOTAL ]
do
        ((LOOPCOUNT += 1))
        service nfs restart
        /usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd
        mount -t nfs4 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt || return;
        ls -l /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/*
        umount /mnt;
        echo $LOOPCOUNT
done

# sh mount-panic.sh

Actual results:
Panic happens while the above script is running.

Expected results:
The script completes.

Additional info:
It's reported on the linux-nfs community, too.
