Frank,

 

Long time.  We are seeing a crash shown below. Found this commit that addressed similar issue - https://review.gerrithub.io/c/ffilz/nfs-ganesha/+/516675, I am posting a possible fix.  

 

(gdb) where

#0  0x00000000004f2a34 in avl_dirent_hk_cmpf (lhs=0x2, rhs=0x7f82ebf8b5c8) at ../../../../FSAL/Stackable_FSALs/FSAL_MDCACHE/mdcache_avl.h:67

    at ../../../../FSAL/Stackable_FSALs/FSAL_MDCACHE/mdcache_avl.c:779

 

 

Possible fix –

 

diff mdcache_avl.c mdcache_avl.c.new 

760a761,762

>     memset(&v, 0, sizeof(v));

> 

 

I also suggest reviewing all callers of this avltree_lookup() for potential similar problems. Comments?

 

Regards.
