Stephan,

Picking this back up, I am having difficulties repeating it consistently.
Debian 8.4, kernel 4.4.15, OpenAFS master
f14d263a73f0be75e4de92f62e836fb2e55680dd. I see the gerrit for reverting on
master is not in yet, so that's not it. Tried increasing the frequency of
afs_ShakeLooseVCaches.

A smaller git repo (e.g. openafs-robotest) never seems to trip the CWD bug.

Test method:
[vagrant@openafs-debian-dev:/afs/.robotest/test] $ mkdir g; cd g; git clone
git://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs.git;sleep 180;git log
Cloning into 'openafs'...

Fri Jul 15 21:39:16 UTC 2016
[vagrant@openafs-debian-dev:/afs/.robotest/test/g] $

I don't see anything obvious in the log files, though I am not sure what I
would be looking for.
FileLog:
==> /usr/afs/logs/FileLog <==
Fri Jul 15 21:37:43 2016 SAFS_GiveUpCallBacks (Noffids=32)

Fri Jul 15 21:38:51 2016 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 536870915.1.1
Fri Jul 15 21:38:51 2016 SAFS_FetchStatus,  Fid = 536870915.4.3, Host

Fri Jul 15 21:38:51 2016 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 536870915.4.3
Fri Jul 15 21:38:51 2016 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 536870918.1.1
Fri Jul 15 21:38:51 2016 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 536870918.3.12879
Fri Jul 15 21:39:33 2016 SAFS_GiveUpCallBacks (Noffids=2)

So how do we repeat this more reliably?

Cheers,
Joe

&gt;&gt; doesn&#39;t take too may tries checking out random tags or branche=
s.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; This was plain 1.6.18 + gerrit 12300 12301 12302 12274.<br=
>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Cache is on ext4, no separate partition, default size as s=
et by our RPM<br>
&gt;&gt; (I think 100MB, but I don&#39;t have access to the VM right now to=
 check).<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The small cache size may contribute to the problem. But I =
found no<br>
&gt;&gt; errors logged anywhere, and this shouldn&#39;t happen no matter ho=
w small the<br>
&gt;&gt; cache is.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Please check if the cmdebug output is empty (I expect it is, b=
ut it is<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; good to check).<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; It is empty.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; NB we have a user report of exactly this problem happening=
 frequently<br>
&gt;&gt; while just editing files in a local git repo in AFS space. The dat=
a is a<br>
&gt;&gt; bit sketchy, but it&#39;s probably Ubuntu 14.04 with its current d=
efault kernel<br>
&gt;&gt; and the openafs packages from Anders&#39; ppa. I&#39;ll try to get=
 us more data.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Any thoughts? For the time being I&#39;m considering this =
a showstopper for<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 1.6.18.1, and it looks like we&#39;re not quite there yet =
regarding Linux<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 4.5, let alone 4.6 or the 4.7 due in a few weeks :-(<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Can you run the same test on a 4.4 kernel for comparison?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I tried under the last F22 kernel, 4.4.6-200.fc22. And ok, it&#39;=
s not 4.5<br>
&gt;&gt; specific, though it seems to happen more frequently with 4.5.2 tha=
n with<br>
&gt;&gt; 4.4.6.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; By chance I found a pretty reliable reproducer:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 cd /vol/ume/root<br>
&gt;&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 mkdir g; cd g<br>
&gt;&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 git clone git://<a href=3D"http://gerri=
t.openafs.org/openafs.git" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">gerrit.open=
afs.org/openafs.git</a>; sleep 180; git log<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Note indeed no &quot;cd openafs&quot;. Of course this should compl=
ain about the cwd<br>
&gt;&gt; not being a git repo. But most of the time it will complain about =
the cwd<br>
&gt;&gt; issue instead.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I&#39;m planning to verify that plain 1.6.18 behaves the same on 4=
.4.6, and if<br>
&gt;&gt; it does I&#39;ll proceed with the 1.6.18.1 release.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I couldn&#39;t reproduce this with any EL clients, but those have =
larger<br>
&gt;&gt; caches (it&#39;s indeed 100 MB on that Fedora VM), so there&#39;s =
more to test.<br>
&gt;&gt; Help welcome...<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
