[arch-dev-public] kernels: NFS ACL trouble
New stable kernels have been released. I suggest to avoid all the NFS lost files and other trouble we've seen recently to revert the 4 NFS ACL related commits that went into 3.0.72 and 3.8.6 when updating our LTS and current kernel. If all is still fine after the bump we should inform upstream about the trouble and should try to find a proper fix. -Andy

instead of revering the commits, I recommend to work with upstream and fix this issue once and for all. -- Ionuț

I have found out that there is another great fix for the NFS problems: Reverting to NFSv3. When did those commits go in? I had serious trouble with 3.8.4 already.

I've found the time to track this down a bit further. It's all not a bug in the kernel or NFS it seems. It's more likely a gcc compiler regression. All kernels built with gcc 4.8.0 can easily reproduce file system corruption here. I've build a 3.0.80 kernel with gcc 4.7.3 and it doesn't show this bug. I'll bring this to the gcc bug tracker. Still no clue how to help them tracking this down further. -Andy
