This is my first post to this list, I'll try to be brief.
Kernel version 2.4.18.
Problem: under heavy load (i.e. >32 client machines locking/unlocking
the same NFS mounted file repeatedly) lockd hangs (sometimes hanging
the local file system with it) and the server must be rebooted.
I have discovered a basic flaw in the lockd code and have patched it
to work correctly. Is there an individual who is "responsible" for
the lockd code whom I can correspond with to discuss the flaws I
have found, the solutions I have devised, and how to get this patch
into general circulation.
P.S. I have examined the lockd code up to version 2.5.7 and it has not
changed in any significant way since 2.4.18.
