It looks like that server is trying to tell the client that a lock
that it asked for is now available. This is called a "GRANT callback".
The GRANT callback should not be retried indefinitely - there is no need.
If the client is still interested, it will ask again in a little while.
It is interesting that you are getting a "timed out" message rather than
a "still trying" message - yet obviously it is still trying. That suggests
that the retry is higher up the stack - probably in lockd, not in the RPC
layer.
The fact that shutting down the firewall stopped the messages suggests that
your firewall is rejecting the GRANT callback. This could be seen as an
incorrect configuration which possibly should be fixed.
Questions:
1/ What are your firewall settings? Is it just the default provided by
the opensuse installer, or have you adjusted it at all?
2/ Has this come back at all since you restarted the firewall?
It could be that you just get a few of these messages each time the
client tried to get a contended lock, and maybe it was doing a lot
of locking?
Suresh - would you be able to look at this? Maybe try to set up a firewall
which discards the GRANT callback, and see how the server responds?
Thanks.
