When the values of tcp_max_slot_table_entries and sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries are lower than the number of rpc tasks, xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot() in xprt_alloc_slot() will return -EAGAIN, and then set xprt->state to XPRT_CONGESTED: xprt_retry_reserve ->xprt_do_reserve ->xprt_alloc_slot ->xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot // return -EAGAIN and task->tk_rqstp is NULL ->xprt_add_backlog // set_bit(XPRT_CONGESTED, &xprt->state); When rpc task is killed, XPRT_CONGESTED bit of xprt->state will not be cleaned up and nfs hangs: rpc_exit_task ->xprt_release // if (req == NULL) is true, then XPRT_CONGESTED // bit not clean Add xprt_wake_up_backlog(xprt) to clean XPRT_CONGESTED bit in xprt_release().
