With the change below applied (to 3.2 kernel at least), I don't see any stalls or high CPU usage on the server anymore. It survived several multi-gigabyte transfers, for several hours, without any problem. So it is a good step forward ;) But the whole thing seems to be quite a bit fragile. I tried to follow the logic in there, and the thing is quite a bit, well, "twisted", and somewhat difficult to follow. So I don't know if this is the right fix or not. At least it works! :) And I really wonder why no one else reported this problem before. Is me the only one in this world who uses linux nfsd? :) Thank you for all your patience and the proposed fix! /mjt > commit c8136c319ad85d0db870021fc3f9074d37f26d4a > Author: J.
