NFS locks may not be released when a process is killed with signal, causing future locking failures
Issue
- Periodically, NFS locks may not be released when a process is killed with signal, resulting in a mismatched state where the server believes the client holds the lock, but the client believes the lock has been released. The result is that further locks are blocked.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise 6.6 NFS client
- NFSv3 mount
