Title:
NFS kernel server creates a kworker with 100% CPU usage, then hangs
randomly
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This concerns the server edition of 14.04. I have set up a NFS server.
Once I attach at least one client, one kworker process starts to use
100% CPU. The runaway kworker returns to idle when I reset the NFS
server daemon with "service nfs-kernel-server stop" followed by
"service nfs-kernel-server start". With the nfs kernel server stopped,
the CPU remains idle. With the nfs kernel server running, as soon as
one client requests a connection, the kworker process jumps to 100%
CPU again.
After some random time, the nfs kernel server no longer accepts
requests from clients. Restarting the service allows clients to
reconnect. The syslog shows no relevant information.
Configration: The svcgssd is not running. I played with various
configurations (enabling/disabling NFSv3 and NFSv4), but it makes no
difference.
I tried to nable event debugging:
#> echo workqueue:workqueue_queue_work > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
#> cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > /var/tmp/kerntrace.txt
and found the following kernel trace in a tight loop:

At present, I have to consider NFS fubar.
