3.6.11.4 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1dfd89af8697a299e7982ae740d4695ecd917eef ] After a server reboot, the reclaimer thread will recover all the existing locks. For locks that are blocked, however, it will change the value of block->b_status to nlm_lck_denied_grace_period in order to signal that they need to wake up and resend the original blocking lock request. Due to a bug, however, the block->b_status never gets reset after the blocked locks have been woken up, and so the process goes into an infinite loop of resends until the blocked lock is satisfied.
