Here is the full set of patches that I'm planning on queueing for 2.6.29. Please note in particular the fairly extensive changes to the NFSv4 state recovery code, which was mainly motivated by the desire to get rid of the global nfs_client->cl_sem lock. In the end, it helped add support for a couple of new features, including the ability to recover state on individual files rather than doing so for the entire server. This latter feature is necessary in order to close a couple of races when returning delegations, as well as when recovering state after network partitions have invalidated our lease. Also note the a number of changes to the delegation code, mainly in order to make the locking more robust. There is now also code in there to ensure that we return delegations that haven't been used in a while. This will help reduce the amount of unnecessary state that servers will need to track, as well as reducing the number of sources of conflict with other NFS clients.
