From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit e1253be0ece1a95a02c7f5843194877471af8179 upstream. When nfs4_set_rw_stateid() can fails by returning EIO to indicate that the stateid is completely invalid, then it makes no sense to have it trigger a retry of the READ or WRITE operation. Instead, we should just have it fall through and attempt a recovery. This fixes an infinite loop in which the client keeps replaying the same bad stateid back to the server.
