Hello
The lockd hang shows up again, but this time under very low system load.
On shutdown the kernel log have the line
/var/log/kern.log:Nov 27 13:49:12 essa kernel: lockd_down: lockd failed to
exit, clearing pid
Is this related to the Fix reported in linux 2.6 17.14 changelog?
commit 387436208278da65b5715e0b3f96a8a3b5a4ed08

LOCKD: Fix a deadlock in nlm_traverse_files()
nlm_traverse_files() is not allowed to hold the nlm_file_mutex while calling
nlm_inspect file, since it may end up calling nlm_release_file() when
releaseing the blocks.
If it is I preciate a word on moving to 2.6.18!
In case you think it is not, I am reopening the bug and asking if someone can
give me some suggestions on retrieving the kernel relevant info in order to
trace out the problem?
Thanks
Pedro
