New Revision: 224606
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/224606

Log:
  Fix a LOR in the NFS client which could cause a deadlock.
  This was reported to the mailing list freebsd-net@freebsd.org
  on July 21, 2011 under the subject "LOR with nfsclient sillyrename".
  The LOR occurred when nfs_inactive() called vrele(sp->s_dvp)
  while holding the vnode lock on the file in s_dvp. This patch
  modifies the client so that it performs the vrele(sp->s_dvp)
  as a separate task to avoid the LOR. This fix was discussed
  with jhb@ and kib@, who both proposed variations of it.
