Installed the patch. Did not get a clean patch so had to do it
manually.
Double and Triple checked the code and patch is installed correct.

Get this messags while unmounting.

moe:/# mount ringo:/ /mnt
moe:/# umount ringo:/
lockd_down: waiting for pid 234 to exit
lockd_down clearing pid

But the pid does not clear.

179 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
182 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
185 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
188 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
191 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
194 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
197 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
202 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)
234 1 DW 0:00 (lockd)

Did several mounts and umounts, and waited 15-20 minutes and pids never
clears. Load average still contnues to climb although does not effect
response.
