A deterministic (SMP-)oops in nfs_file_close was fixed in the 2.1.117-ac* series. There is also a hard lockup. The probability of this lockup was lowered by the fix that removed the nfs_file_close oops. It was always possible to trigger the lockup by pounding enough on the NFS-client subsystem.
Stats for the netscape-folder-test:
2.1.117ac1 passes 2 out of 2 (but later crashes on a large cp -a) 2.1.118 crashes 2 out of 2
This crash has never occured under UP.
