This makes sense. According to wireshark, the server is indeed
transmitting "Status: NFS3ERR_IO (5)". Perhaps this should be STALE
instead; it sounds more correct than marking it a general IO error.
Also, the NFS server is serving its share off of a ZFS filesystem, if
it makes any difference. I suppose ZFS could be talking to the NFS
server threads with some mismatched language, but I doubt it.
Ok, now I think we're making progress. If VFS_FHTOVP() doesn't return
ESTALE when the file no longer exists, the NFS server returns whatever
error it has returned.
So, either VFS_FHTOVP() succeeds after the file has been deleted, which
would be a problem that needs to be fixed within ZFS
OR
ZFS returns an error other than ESTALE when it doesn't exist.
Try the following patch on the server (which just makes any error
returned by VFS_FHTOVP() into ESTALE) and see if that helps.

Please let me know if the patch helps, rick
The patch seems to fix the bad behavior. Running with the patch, I see
the following output from my patch (return code of nfs_doio from within
nfsiod):
nfssvc_iod: iod 0 nfs_doio returned errno: 70
Furthermore, when inspecting the transaction with Wireshark, after
deleting the file on the NFS server it looks like there is only a single
error. This time there it is a reply to a V3 Lookup call that contains
a status of "NFS3ERR_NOENT (2)" coming from the NFS server. The client
also does not repeatedly try to complete the failed request.
Any suggestions on the next step here? Based on what you said it looks
like ZFS is falsely reporting an IO error to VFS instead of ESTALE /
NOENT. I tried looking around zfs_fhtovp() and only saw returns of
EINVAL, but I'm not even sure I'm looking in the right place.
