Subject[bisected] NFS corruption with 3.4
Date
Hello,
I use NFS for deploying HDD images on new machines. My machine has 2nd network
card just for this, running DHCPD, TFTPD and kernel NFS server. The target
machine is set to boot from LAN and boots SystemRescueCD from my machine with
an autorun script that launches Partimage and deploys the HDD image (400 to
900 MB compressed).

It worked fine for years, until now. With kernel 3.4, everyting
works only for the first time after boot (and not always). Next time (next
machine), partimage aborts almost immediately as it's probably unable to
decompress the image file. md5sum is different on my machine vs. on the
target (through NFS). Also SystemRescueCD boot aborts with md5 error
sometimes. Everything works fine after rebooting back to 3.3.

Bisection found this:

0fc9d1040313047edf6a39fd4d7c7defdca97c62 is the first bad commit

radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions

Reverting this commit in 3.4 fixes the problem.
