I got deadlock when mounting cephfs with kernel 4.12 and ceph 12.2.5.
The ceph servers had no any write operations to the mounted directories.
But the clients were still hang there until I restarted the servers.
I have not encountered the same issue from then on.

Kernel NFS + kernel CephFS can fall apart and deadlock itself in
exciting ways...
nfs-ganesha is so much better.
