Can this commit be backported to the 3.2 kernel in sid?
It applies and I have tested it in the past against the 3.2.4 kernel.
Just for the record: we are talking about
v3.3-rc1~116^2~1 "NFSv4: Save the owner/group name string when doing
open", 2012-01-07
It looks safe to me, too. It is too large to follow the rules of
Greg's 3.2.y-stable kernel to the letter, but I think we should apply
it.
For 2.6.32.y-longterm, I would be happier with a more minimal patch.
Where can one find more information about the rpciod hang described
in the commit message to 80e52aced138b ("NFSv4: Don't do idmapper
upcalls for asynchronous RPC calls", 2009-08-09)? Maybe there is
some alternative fix to that.
I would also be very much interested to hear how well the following
series against 2.6.32.y does:
v2.6.33-rc1~54^2~7 "rpc: add a new priority in RPC task", 2009-12-14
v2.6.33-rc1~54^2~5 "nfs: make recovery state manager operations
privileged", 2009-12-14
v3.3-rc1~116^2~1 "NFSv4: Save the owner/group name string when doing
open", 2012-01-07
