From: Andy Adamson <andros@xxxxxxxxxx> Without this patch attempting to access a Kerberos mount with expired or no credentials resulted in the NFS client hanging while retrying to refresh creds for ever. I tested NFSv3/v4/v4.1 sec=krb5 mounts. With expired or non-existent user Kerberos credentials, trying to ls the mountpoint, or cd into the mountpoint resulted in three failed upcalls to gssd (due to tk_cred_retry being set to 2) then the 'Operation not permitted' message is returned to the user. I think this patch should go into the stable kernel.
