oplock problem in samba / nfs


I'm not sure if this a Kernel/samba or NFS issue. We run this on Centos 5.6 using a kernel.org kernel.

Please find below the problem description

When trying to copy a file to a samba share which has NFS backend on 2.6.36.3 or newer Linux kernel following message is displayed on windows client

“An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
Error 0x80070021: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file”

I am able to delete a file within the same directory structure. I am also able to create a file or folder by right-clicking within Windows Explorer on XP. Below are the logs generated by samba in debug mode. The main line of interest was:

linux_set_kernel_oplock: Refused oplock on file home/foo/open/test.cfg, fd = 33, file_id = 17:aa41ab:0. (Invalid argument)


Please note “test.cfg" was the file which we were trying to copy from windows

We have tried following versions of samba and behavior is same
3.0.33-3.29.el5_7.4
3.5.11
3.6.0

It looks like the issue is with how samba/kernel are handling the oplocks requested by Windows client on NFS file systems

However we have found two workarounds for it

1) Disable kernel oplocks in smb.conf by putting kernel oplocks = no
2) Mount the NFS file system with nolock option

Any help here is much appreciated.
