New Revision: 316669
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/316669

Log:
  Avoid starvation of the server crash recovery thread for the NFSv4 client.
  
  This patch gives a requestor of the exclusive lock on the client state
  in the NFSv4 client priority over shared lock requestors. This avoids
  the server crash recovery thread being starved out by other threads doing
  RPCs.
