Kernel 2.6.11r11 and 2.6.9r11. Set up as NFS server. Solaris NFS client. After a while, RPC: error 5 messages appear in /var/log/messages and rpc_tasks in /proc/slabinfo starts to grow. After a few weeks, rpc_tasks is big enough to fill the RAM and the system crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start NFS server 2. Mount exported filesystems on solaris 8 3. Wait Actual Results: After a while, RPC: error 5 messages appear in /var/log/messages and rpc_tasks in /proc/slabinfo starts to grow. After a few weeks, rpc_tasks is big enough to fill the RAM and the system crashes. Expected Results: No error 5 messages and stable number of rpc_tasks.
