As I suspected, 2.2.18 + all the NFS/NFSd/SunRPC changes present in
2.2.19pre10 locks up with wait_on_bh as soon as I run ls -lR on a large
NFS directory tree, while at the same time pummeling the network and the
local disks.

NFS is not enough to trigger the bug, the extra disk/network stress *is*
necessary. The network stress actually seems to be enough, I just
triggered the bug again...

2.2.18 vanilla is fine.

So I guess the next round is in Trond's court. :-)

Thanks,
Ion
