Hi!

----

Is this a known bug - nfsd goes "boooom" in a regular basis, once or
twice a week (kernel is stock Debian Linux "5.10.0-22-rt-amd64", NFSv4
client is both Debian Linux NFSv4 /home on the same machine and
Windows NFSv4 client (git
https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client/commit/0be33d4eceeb7be668d6252f06c79394100e98e0)
compiling Cygwin gcc in two instances in a Win10 VMware VM):

---- snip ----

The Win10 NFSv4 client at that point lost the NFSv4 session,
recovered, and the gcc build continued without problems.

Is the |nfsd_shutdown_threads()| in the stacktrace "normal", or is
nfsd really shutting down at this moment ?

Bye,
Roland
