From f657f8eef3ff870552c9fd2839e0061046f44618 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 17:02:04 -0400 Subject: nfs: don't atempt blocking locks on nfs reexports NFS implements blocking locks by blocking inside its lock method. In the reexport case, this blocks the nfs server thread, which could lead to deadlocks since an nfs server thread might be required to unlock the conflicting lock. It also causes a crash, since the nfs server thread assumes it can free the lock when its lm_notify lock callback is called. Ideal would be to make the nfs lock method return without blocking in this case, but for now it works just not to attempt blocking locks. The difference is just that the original client will have to poll (as it does in the v4.0 case) instead of getting a callback when the lock's available. Signed-off-by: J.
