I still get some nfs related locking bug.

I applied 

linux-2.6.23-001-fix_rpciod_down_race.dif
linux-2.6.23-003-fix_locking_regression.dif
linux-2.6.23-004-fix_stateid_regression.dif

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.23-rc1-mm2 #3
---------------------------------------------
events/0/5 is trying to acquire lock:
 (events){--..}, at: [<c012ed90>] flush_workqueue+0x0/0x70

but task is already holding lock:
 (events){--..}, at: [<c012e5c4>] run_workqueue+0xd4/0x1e0

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by events/0/5:
 #0:  (events){--..}, at: [<c012e5c4>] run_workqueue+0xd4/0x1e0
 #1:  ((nfs_automount_task).work){--..}, at: [<c012e5c4>]
