Any chance the STALE_CLIENTID case needs a 'break'?

I don't think so.  LEASE_CONFIRM is set, and we want to wake the state renewal thread.


Twice I've seen kernel crashes after the nfs40_walk_client_list
failed (though code comments say it should never fail).

nfs40_walk_client_list() is looking for an nfs_client that is supposed to already be in the nfs_client list.  If the search fails, that's a bug.

Eyeball the contents of your nfs_client list.  You should find an appropriate nfs_client in there, and then figure out why the search doesn't find it.

You have considered the fact that the call to
nfs4_proc_setclientid_confirm can potentially return
NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID if the server rebooted while the client was
walking the list?

In fact, as far as I can see, the correct behaviour in
nfs40_discover_server_trunking() should be to re-issue the setclientid
call, and then walk the list again if nfs40_walk_client_list() returns
NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID.

Thanks for the patch.  I'll add that to my tree as well.

Thanks,
Ben
