Neither of those options actually. I'm using hard,intr on the mount flags, and by soft hang I mean that the application copying data will come to a stop and never make any progress again. When that happens, you can usually interrupt the process and get back to the command line, but it doesn't clean up internally in the kernel because from that point on, attempts to unmount the nfs filesystem return EBUSY. > > ToDo items that I see: > > > > Write NFSv4 rdma protocol mount support > > NFSv4 does not use the MNT protocol.

I can do nfs4 tcp mounts just fine, but trying to do nfs4 rdma mounts results in operation not permitted returns on the client. And nfs3 mounts using rdma work as expected. This is all with the same server, same client, same mount point, etc. > > Fix client soft mount hangs when rsize/wsize > 32768 > > Does that problem occur with unpatched v3.15-rc3 on the client? Probably. I've been able to reproduce this for a while. I originally thought it was a problem between Mellanox <-> QLogic/Intel operation because it reproduces faster in that environment, but I can get it to reproduce in Mellanox <-> Mellanox situations too. > HCAs/RNICs that support MTHCAFMR and FRMR should be working up to the > largest rsize and wsize supported by the client and server. > > When I use ALLPHYSICAL with large wsize, typically the server starts > dropping NFS WRITE requests.
