2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust commit 3050141bae57984dd660e6861632ccf9b8bca77e upstream. The NFSv4 renew daemon is shared between all active super blocks that refer to a particular NFS server, so it is wrong to be shutting it down in nfs4_kill_super every time a super block is destroyed. This patch therefore kills nfs4_renewd_prepare_shutdown altogether, and leaves it up to nfs4_shutdown_client() to also shut down the renew daemon by means of the existing call to nfs4_kill_renewd().
