The major reason I see that this bug has not been fixed is that it has a severity of 'normal', while we have many other 'important' bugs to be dealt with. If you are able to reproduce the bug, please test whether the attached patch fixes it for you. Follow the instructions at <http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official> to build a new kernel package with this patch. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

Subject: [PATCH] knfsd: Replace lock_kernel with a mutex for nfsd thread startup/shutdown locking.
This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL
really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs
protection across sleeps.
Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work
and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is
adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.
