Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 20 17:02:05 2021 -0400 lockd: don't attempt blocking locks on nfs reexports [ Upstream commit b840be2f00c0bc00d993f8f76e251052b83e4382 ] As in the v4 case, it doesn't work well to block waiting for a lock on an nfs filesystem. As in the v4 case, that means we're depending on the client to poll. It's probably incorrect to depend on that, but I *think* clients do poll in practice. In any case, it's an improvement over hanging the lockd thread indefinitely as we currently are. Signed-off-by: J.
