Hi Anna,

Do you have an estimate for when this patch will be ready? I want to
include it in my next bugfix pull request for 4.9.
I haven't posted because I am still trying to get to the bottom of
another
problem where the client gets stuck in a loop sending the same stateid
over
and over on NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID. I want to make sure this problem isn't
caused by this fix -- which I don't think it is, but I'd rather make
sure.
If I don't make any progress on this problem by the end of today, I'll
post
what I have.
Read on if interested in this new problem:
It looks like racing opens with the same openowner can be returned out
of
order by the server, so the client sees stateid seqid of 2 before 1.
Then a
LOCK sent with seqid 1 is endlessly retried if sent while doing
recovery.
It's hard to tell if I was able to capture all the moving parts to
describe
this problem, though. As it takes a very long time for me to reproduce,
and
the packet captures were dropping frames. I'm working on manually
reproducing it now.
