Bug Description

I have a nfs server with multiple clients connected. I often
fail to write very large files (1G orso) through the clients. It is
strange that the problem does not always appear. But every time I met
the the problem, the /var/log/messages file has the output like this:

Jul 12 17:10:03 cs2 kernel: [42958429.840000] RPC: bad TCP reclen
0x145a3888 (large)
Jul 12 17:10:03 cs2 kernel: [42958429.840000] RPC: bad TCP reclen
0x3ebef29b (non-terminal)
Jul 12 17:10:08 cs2 kernel: [42958435.300000] RPC: bad TCP reclen
0x00000000 (non-terminal)
Jul 12 17:10:08 cs2 kernel: [42958435.300000] RPC: bad TCP reclen
0x4427bf83 (large)

The server and clients' OS is ubuntu-server 6.10, and the kernel is 2.6.17-11.

A similar bug was reported from the kernel's bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6858). A kernel version >= 2.6.18
doesn't have this problem. But I found that ubuntu-server 6.10's newest kernel
version is 2.6.17. So I have to upgrade to 7.04 with kernel version 2.6.20.
The problem was solved after upgrading.
