[1.] One line summary of the problem:

NFS Client Ignores TCP Resets

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

Steps to reproduce:
1) Mount NFS share from HA cluster with TCP.
2) Failover the HA cluster. (The NFS server's IP address moves from one
    machine to the other.)
3) Access the mounted NFS share from the client (an `ls` is sufficient).

Expected results:
Accessing the NFS mount works fine immediately.

Actual results:
Accessing the NFS mount hangs for 5 minutes. Then the TCP connection 
times out, a new connection is established, and it works fine again.

After the IP moves, the new server responds to the client with TCP RST 
packets, just as I would expect. I would expect the client to tear down 
its TCP connection immediately and re-establish a new one. But it 
doesn't. Am I confused, or is this a bug?

For the duration of this test, all iptables firewalling was disabled on 
the client machine.

I have a packet capture of a minimized test (just a simple ls):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1542826/+attachment/4571304/+files/dovecot-test.upstream-kernel.pcap

Note that this is a "single failover" scenario. It is NOT a case of 
failing over and then failing back before the TCP connection times out 
on the first NFS server.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 4.5.0-040500rc3-generic (kernel@gomeisa) (gcc version 
5.2.1 20151010 (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2) ) #201602071930 SMP Mon Feb 8 
00:34:43 UTC 2016

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
      resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

N/A. No Oops.

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
      problem (if possible)

This is not a self-contained example, but this information may be useful:

echo 10.20.0.30:/export/krls1/mail /mnt/mail nfs 
bg,noacl,noatime,noexec,nordirplus,proto=tcp,vers=3 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
mount /mnt/mail
ls /mnt/mail # Works
# Failover HA cluster
ls /mnt/mail # Hangs for 5 minutes

[7.] Environment

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
Release:	15.10

[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)

$ sh ver_linux
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.

[7.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)

[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
        (please look in /proc and include all information that you
        think to be relevant):

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:

This particular system is a virtual machine, but we have seen this on 
physical hardware as well.

If we use UDP instead of TCP, then the NFS client handles the failover 
in a timely manner.

The NFS HA cluster is a system from Nexenta running their latest 
software, which is based on Illumos. Our Nexenta reseller's standard 
recommendation for HA clusters is to use UDP, because of this behavior.

For our physical machines acting as virtual hosts, it doesn't make a lot 
of difference, but in the virtual machine, I'd especially like to use 
TCP, as it performs quite a bit better.
