I've tried that. The command hangs and can not be interrupted with ctrl-c.

I've now also noticed in the dmesg output that the kernel issued the 
following WARNING a few hours ago. It wasn't directly triggered by the 
echo command above, but seems to have been triggered a few hours ago 
(probably when another client started to have the same problem as more 
clients are experiencing issues now).

It again seems to have been triggered in nfsd_break_deleg_cb?

I also had the following perf command running a tmux on the server:

perf trace -e nfsd:nfsd_cb_recall_any

This has spewed a lot of messages. I'm including a short list here:

I assume the cl_id is the client id? How can I map this to a client from 
/proc/fs/nfsd/clients?

If I understand it correctly, the recall_any should be called when 
either the system starts to experience memory pressure, or it reaches 
the delegation limits? I doubt the system is actually running out of 
memory here as there are no other indications. Shouldn't I get those 
"page allocation failure" messages if it does? How can I check the 
number of delegations/leases currently issued, what the current maximum 
is and how to increase it?

Regarding the recall any call: from what I've read on kernelnewbies, 
this feature was introduced in the 6.2 kernel? When I look at the tree 
for 6.1.x, it was backported in 6.1.81? Is there a way to disable this 
support somehow?

Regards,

Rik
