From aaaa99423b4b1f9cfd33ea5643d9274c25f62491 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 12:18:25 -0500 Subject: NLM: Ensure that nlmclnt_cancel_callback() doesn't loop forever If the server returns NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS, we currently retry the entire NLM_CANCEL request. This may end up looping forever unless the server changes its mind (why would it do that, though?). Ensure that we limit the number of retries (to 3). See bug# 5957 in bugzilla.kernel.org.
