Grumble... If your patches are targetting NFS, could you please at the
very least Cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or myself.

This all belongs in net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c. The NFS code has no business
screwing around with the internals of the sunrpc transport.

How does this guarantee that the socket reconnection won't fail?

Also, what about the case of rpc_malloc()? Can't that cause rpciod to
deadlock when you add NFS swap into the equation?
