    SubjectRe: 2.6.24-rc2 XFS nfsd hang / smbd too

    Since NFS was not working (the nfsd processes were already in D state), to
    mount a CIFS share from the very same server (and the same client). I'm
    exporting the same /data share (JFS), but, since it's smbd I don't have to
    export every single submount (as it is with NFS):

    * with NFS:
    server:/data (jfs)
    server:/data/sub (xfs)

    * with CIFS:
    server:/data (containing both the jfs and the xfs partition as one
    single share to mount)

    Upon accessing the /data/sub part of the CIFS share, the client hung,
    waiting for the server to respond (the [cifs] kernel thread on the client
    was spinning, waiting for i/o). On the server, similar things as with the
    nfsd processes happened (although I know that the smbd (Samba) processes
    are running completely in userspace):

    Sysrq-t again on the server:

    =======================

    So, it's really not NFS but ?FS related?
