Thanks a lot for the pointer. Yes, this makes complete sense.
In our system we do failover an active NFS server by sending RST to the clients connected
to it and in the tests I mentioned, we have had a failover before we started seeing this
issue.
So this issue is fixed in RHEL7.7 and higher if my understanding of the kernel versions
are right?

主题：[NFS-Ganesha-Devel] NFSv3 mounts hang from a client forever and new mounts to the same
share hangs
日期：2020年04月22日 14点36分
We are using NFS Ganesha and mounting NFSv3 with auth_sys on RHEL7.6 linux clients.
I am seeing this weird issue that after running some system tests some linux clients enter
into a state where the existing mount point for one share(Lets says testShare1) becomes
inaccessible and trying to mount again the same share hangs forever. Client does not get
out of this situation at all. Strange thing is it is able to mount other shares
successfully. To add it to it the testShare1 is accessible fine from other clients too.
The packet captures on client show no packets on the wire and the ganesha logs dont
contain any hint too.
This looks like client issue and we have RHEL7.6 linux clients in this setup. In the
client's /var/log/messages, I see this error continuously:

#define EPIPE 32 /* Broken pipe */
xs_tcp_send_request - write an RPC request to a TCP socket
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c#L1027
Linux source code pointed above shows client is not able to send the RPC request on the
socket. socket send is failing with EPIPE error.
I believe the NFS packets are failing to be sent out from this RPC transport, hence all
access for a particular share gets associated with same transport and all of them keep
failing with EPIPE error.
I see this thread in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692315#c15 where Jeff
Layton was discussing same issue but this seems to be fixed in RHEL6.2 itself.
Jeff, can you please help to understand if the fix for above bug in RHEL7.6 and if so why
do we see this issue still?
