I've created #60737[0] to track this issue upstream and attached a pcap to
the bug, obtained while running "find <dir> -ls" on the client. But I fail
to look at the right details in tcpdump/wireshare, I don't see any cookie
information...

strace returned nothing for "getdents64", only "getdents". My test
filesystems are 256 MB in size, maybe this is too small for getdents64 to
be used? All the calls to "getdents" however return unique offsets, if I
did this right:
$ strace -egetdents -v ls /mnt/disk_jfs/usr/share/terminfo/q 2>&1 | egrep -o "d_off=[0-9]*" | sort
When running "ls" (even w/o "-l") on the client on that NFS share, this
"readdir loop" message is printed.
HTH,
Christian.
