The NFS lock daemon is among the as-yet unrepaired casualties from the
schedule() overhaul. Any attempt at obtaining a lock over NFS blows the
server out of the water (endless scrolling error messages about bad value
from timeout). Requires red-button reset.
I can see where a timeout was commented out by Andrea with a "FIXME". Not
sure exactly what needs to happen though..
I tried to mail HJ about this, but his mail system tries to do a reverse
lookup on me, then rejects all messages!
I have confirmed HJ's linux-2.1.1xx.diff (from the knfsd-1022
distribution) as the culprit which causes RPC to break on anything later
than 2.1.127-pre2.
