Subject: NFS processes gettting stuck in D with currrent git

Hi Trond,

One of the NFS patches seems to have introduced a problem with the nfs
client, as my test box now seems to be hanging processes in D somewhat
randomly (RHEL4 box for the server). I'll try to bisect it if there
aren't any obvious candidates for the problem. Cheers,

Does a magic sysrq-t give any useful clues as to where they are hanging?

Cheers,

As of this afternoon's tree (6150c32589d1976ca8a5c987df951088c05a7542)
after the more recent set of nfs patches, it seems to be behaving itself.
Will keep sysrq enabled to see if it hits again, though.
