Subject: [PATCH] lockd: don't clear sm_monitored on nsm_reboot_lookup
Date: Fri,  5 Feb 2010 15:09:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1265400562-8409-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)

When lockd gets a notify downcall from statd, it'll search its hosts
cache and then clear the sm_monitored bit on the host it finds. The idea
is apparently to make lockd redo a SM_MON on the next lock request.

This is unnecessary and causes the kernel's NSM cache to go out of sync
with statd. statd doesn't stop monitoring a host when it gets a
SM_NOTIFY and there's no guarantee that another lock will occur after
the reclaim and before the unmount. In that event, no SM_UNMON will
occur.
