I'll have to review this code again, but rpc_shutdown_client
should cause these RPCs to terminate immediately and safely. Can't
we use that?

Something in the sequence_done path should check if the server is
tearing down this callback connection. If it doesn't, that is a bug
IMO.

Btw, have you checked NFSv4.0 behavior?

Ah, agreed. Thanks for reminding me.

It would be a nicer design if all outstanding callback RPCs could
be handled with one mechanism instead of building a separate
shutdown method for each operation type.
