OpenSRS blog post alludes to a Linux NFS bug in 2.6.19
Subsystems (2)
Anybody know if this is bug is fixed and if so in which kernel revision. Any ideas about its impact on vendor kernels (RHEL/SUSE Enterprise)

I know that more recent RHEL kernels have this fixed. The bug to track it was here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369561
It's also easy to tell if you have a kernel with this problem. Just do a single TCP mount on the client, and then run:
$ rpcinfo -p
...you should see port registrations for nlockmgr. If you don't see any UDP ones, then the kernel has the problem.

Note that the workaround was simply to add
lockd.nlm_udpport=<unused portnumber>
to your kernel bootparameters.
