BUG: 2.4.x NFS client mmap race

[Marcus Meissner <Marcus.Meissner@caldera.de>]

Hi,

While debugging a rather strange WINE problem I came across a 2.4.x 
NFS race condition.

I trimmed down the WINE code to a very small testcase, attached below, 
which has following test patterns:
	
	ext2 local			: SUCCESS
	2.4.5-ac6  -> 2.2.10 (unfsd)	: FAIL
	2.4.2-ac26 -> 2.4.2ac26	(knfsd)	: FAIL
	2.2.14     -> 2.4.2ac26	(knfsd)	: SUCCESS

For me this looks like there is a problem in the 2.4 NFS client.

The sleep() appears to be a key part. If we only sleep 1 second the
test usually succeeds. With 5 it always fails.

I am using the default mount options for nfs.

Ciao, Marcus
