Yes, there were some NFS updates in between -rc2 and
28e8351ac22de25034e048c680014ad824323c65. I'd be now even more curious
what are you going to find by bisect, please let us know.

I added Trond to CC, full thread to be found at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/21/151 for reference.

Florin, it also might be useful to capture the states of stuck processess
via alt-sysrq-T (or better by echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger), so that we
know better where are they stuck.
