Subject: 2.6.19 xfs crash spawns tcp reclen errors off nfs

We have had several really strange NFS issues, reported out of
net/sunrpc/svcsock.c in

static int
svc_tcp_recvfrom(struct svc_rqst *rqstp)

        svsk->sk_reclen &= 0x7fffffff;
        dprintk("svc: TCP record, %d bytes\n", svsk->sk_reclen);
        if (svsk->sk_reclen > serv->sv_bufsz) {
            printk(KERN_NOTICE "RPC: bad TCP reclen 0x%08lx (large)\n",
                   (unsigned long) svsk->sk_reclen);
            printk(KERN_NOTICE "sockaddr_in 0x%04x port 0x%04x max 
0x%08lx\n",
               rqstp->rq_addr.sin_addr.s_addr,
               rqstp->rq_addr.sin_port, (long) serv->sv_bufsz);
            goto err_delete;
        }

The size reported grows, and grows, and...

the server runs 2.6.19 when XFS has its issues (as follows)
2TB partition, NFS exported. All machines are x86_64 AMD 275's with 16GB
and running redhat AS 4.4 (Centos 4.4)

a typical crash under 2.6.19 is

The clients run 2.6.19. the servers crash once a day when the heavy 
simulations start up.
eth0 and eth1 are bonded into BOND0, tyan 2895 or SuperMicro H8DC8 
motherboards.

Neil Brown indicated that this NFS packet growth should have been fixed in
2.6.18-rc5, but it still happens, easily triggered by the XFS shutdown.
the packet sizes reported can grow to > 1GB.
Dropping back to 2.6.18.1 stops the XFS crashing, and hence stops the 
NFS mess.
