From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> NFSD sends CB_RECALL_ANY to clients when the server is low on memory or that client has a large number of delegations outstanding. We've seen cases where NFSD attempts to send CB_RECALL_ANY requests to disconnected clients, and gets confused. These calls never go anywhere if a backchannel transport to the target client isn't available. Before the server can send any backchannel operation, the client has to connect first and then do a BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION. This patch doesn't address the root cause of the confusion, but there's no need to queue up these optional operations if they can't go anywhere.
