Patch applied but unfortunately I'm still getting the same trace, but
this time I also captured a preceding stack for a hung process local
to the reexport server - I wonder if it's happening somewhere in the
VFS changes rather than nfsd which then exports the path?

I double checked that the patch had been applied and I hadn't made a
mistake with installation.

I could perhaps try running with just the VFS patches to see if I can
still reproduce the "local" VFS hang without the nfsd patches? Your
previous VFS only patchset was stable for me.
