Subject[BUG] deadlock upon 'mv' on NFSROOT in 2.2.7
Hi,

There appears to be a bug in 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 using NFSROOT - a deadlock
when trying to rename a directory within the NFSROOT filesystem. For
example:
cd /lib
mv modules modules-bug
...... [hang] ......

I found out that: sys_rename() calls vfs_rename(), which tries to
"down" a lock but fails, so it calls "__down_failed" which calls
"__down". There it waits forever !!

This behaviour is 100% consistent on my system. NFSROOT-programmers,
your kind assistance is appreciated :-)

Oren.
