Would it be possible to backport the fix to the 2.6.32 kernel? Or is that too intrusive for a stable update?Here's a blind backport. Only compile-tested. I would be very surprised if it does not break anything, especially because I lazily pulled in patches instead of actually carefully backporting the code to the older kernel, so it is more invasive than necessary. But maybe it can serve as a starting point.
I compiled the 2.6.32 kernel from squeeze with these patches on a sid box and it seems to fix the bug. I haven't fully testing any other NFS functionality now.
How do you determine which other patches are required to backport a specific patch (in general)? Is there some magic git command for that?
