Hi , 
    1.You can definitely restart nfsd so that clients 
      will reacquire their locks.
    2.If you only want to release all locks , use
      kill -9 <lockd pid> but in this case all 
      clients will looose their locks permanently.
      
I dont think that currently there is any way to
release locks held  by --a-- particlar client. 

regards,
 kiran
