Is 'umount -f' supposed to always work, even if the file server

I have a user's system that just hangs forever in this case.

Could be local changes we have made, but I'm curious about
the expected behaviour before I go digging too deep...

Any input on this?  I don't mind trying to fix it, but I
would like to know how it is supposed to work.

Recent kernels emit a GETATTR at umount time.  It is probably this operation that is stuck.

It seems a 'mkdir' process is trying to complete at the same time,
not sure if that is cause or effect.

How can I go about cleaning up these stuck operations?

Thanks,
Ben
