I'm curious which attributes were requested.  In particular, is the
unreplied-to getattr the *first* time that the client requests the owner
or owner_group attributes?

OK.

No, it just handles requests from the kernel, not from the network.

Might also be worth looking at the nfs4.idtoname cache contents after
the hang:

	rpcdebug -m rpc -s cache
	cat /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.idtoname/content

I seem to recall c9b6cbe56d3ac471e6cd72a59ec9e324b3417016 or
0a725fc4d3bfc4734164863d6c50208b109ca5c7 being possible causes of hangs.
