Any hints about how to reproduce this are welcome. I'll try to look at the code and figure out why this could happen. So, does the mount at some point succeed? Or it is blocked forever? And sysrq-t output would be useful to look at as well. Also, it is strange that 'sys_mount()' involves 'nfs4_kill_super()' - is this normal or this is an error path?
