As reported by David Jeffery: "a signal was sent to lockd while lockd was shutting down from a request to stop nfs. The signal causes lockd to call restart_grace() which puts the lockd_net structure on the grace list. If this signal is received at the wrong time, it will occur after lockd_down_net() has called locks_end_grace() but before lockd_down_net() stops the lockd thread. This leads to lockd putting the lockd_net structure back on the grace list, then exiting without anything removing it from the list." So, perform the final locks_end_grace() from the the lockd thread; this ensures it's serialized with respect to restart_grace(). Reported-by: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
