From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx> commit fd01b2597941d9c17980222999b0721648b383b8 upstream. If you - mount and NFSv3 filesystem - do some file locking which requires the server to make a GRANT call back - unmount - mount again and do the same locking then the second attempt at locking suffers a 30 second delay. Unmounting and remounting causes lockd to stop and restart, which causes it to bind to a new port. The server still thinks the old port is valid and gets ECONNREFUSED when trying to contact it. ECONNREFUSED should be seen as a hard error that is not worth retrying. Rebinding is the only reasonable response. This patch forces a rebind if that makes sense.
