there is one more place i found that does sleep_on() with cli(), this can lead to lockups under SMP. Are there any unsolved reports of lockups for NFS + SMP-2.2.2?
That whole stretch of code is bogus, it should be using bh atomicity instead. The thing it is trying to be atomic against are events which are a result of packet arrival and perhaps timers as well.
