Negative. I've tried it on the client under test and I'm seeing three
types of behavior, one good, two bad. In all cases the secondary
client (unmodified) correctly regains the lock after the server has
rebooted. Client under test behavior depends on whether it had queued
the conflicting lock before of after the server reboot. Afterwards it
seems to work with the above modification (don't know if that was the
case before though).
When the client under test tries to lock before the server reboot then
the fcntl(F_SETLKW) returns either right after the NSM NOTIFY with
-ENOLCK without any NLM trafic or it returns with -ENOLCK when the
NLM_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD changes into NLM_BLOCKED (the original report).
