hi-
Several of us are seeing subtle problems with the NFS system under 2.2.x.
Since the NFS stuff was moved into kernel-space, there has been a significant increase in tasks freezing due to NFS being device-locked. This can be easily reproduced by mounting a remote system, then shutting down that remote system without unmounting it.
Shell sessions attempting to access directories on the shut-down machine lock-up solid (device-locked), and they cannot be killed by any means. Back when NFS was user-space we could at least kill, then restart these errant sessions.
If curious, we are using 2.2.9 on x86 arch.
Thanks-
ron
