Description IBM Bug Proxy 2007-04-18 17:35:45 UTC

LTC Originator is: ankigarg.com


While trying to duplicate bug #26701 (a LTC internal bug, an NFS problem on the
2.6.16 RT kernel not recreatable on 2.6.17), found that NFS copy of huge files
does not complete on RHEL5 RT. This is a priority issue and would mostly be
fixed once the IRQ priority values are finalized on RHEL5 RT. So, keeping the
priority low till set_kthread_prio values are decided upon. Will test it once
that is done.

This can recreated as follows: 

Requires 3 systems on RHEL5 RT. On system A, nfs mount a directory structure on
B & C. From, A, nfs copy huge files, recursively, from B to C.

The IRQ priority values in set_kthread_prio-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm need to be adjusted
to correct this issue.

Discussion on this is happening on rhel-rt-external list. Mark Salter
from RedHat has worked on this.

By making changes to the priority values in the rtgroups file, part of
set_kthread_prio implementation, the NFS copies completed successfully.
Attaching a patch to the rtgroups file.

fix nfs related daemon priorities

Adjusting the priorities of the NFS related daemons, rpciod, lockd and nfsd,
ensures that these are not starved due to other rt threads. This would enable
the nfs related operations to complete.

Marking this as FIXED_AWAITING_TEST so that RedHat can start on the process of
testing the suggested changes in the set_kthread_prio.conf (rtctl) values.
