Hi Ben, I have been testing a 3.2 kernel with both the patch you backported as well as 64a284d07c7d84299a90826950079a8ef11e8204 from upstream ("nfsd4: maintain one seqid stream per (lockowner, file)"). These patches together appear to have resolved the issues our client has been seeing, though this is not running in a production environment just yet. I think the other patch (64a284d07c7d84299a90826950079a8ef11e8204) is also quite important in resolving this problem, as it reduces the number of entries in the lockowner hash table. Would this be a patch you would entertain to backport as well?
