I was experimenting to see how many new tests the updated xfstests enabled and when trying it over nfs ran into a strange problem with 3.18-rc3 on nfs v3 mount after the usual generic/035 (nlink count is 1 when should be zero) test failure with v3 xfstest generic/036 hung with the following [22918.651195] INFO: task aio-dio-fcntl-r:63057 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

I don't see much in the changelog in the last two weeks in fs/nfs that looks plausibly related. Tomorrow I will update to current (rc4) mainline and see if it goes away - but curious if others had seen this ...
