Yes and yes.=0A=
Go take another look at linuxtofreenfs.pcap=0A=
("fetch https://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/linuxtofreenfs.pcap" if you do=
n't=0A=
  already have it.)=0A=
Look at packet #1949->2069. I use wireshark, but you'll have your favourite=
.=0A=
You'll see the "RST battle" that ends after=0A=
6minutes at packet#2069. If there is no 6minute timeout enabled in the=0A=
server side krpc, then the battle just continues (I once let it run for abo=
ut=0A=
30minutes before giving up). The 6minute timeout is not currently enabled=
=0A=
in main, etc.=0A=
=0A=
>What version of the kernel are you using?=0A=
"main" dated Dec. 23, 2020 + your bugfix + assorted NFS patches that=0A=
are not relevant + 2 small krpc related patches.=0A=
--> The two small krpc related patches enable the 6minute timeout and=0A=
       add a soshutdown(..SHUT_WR) call when the 6minute timeout is=0A=
       triggered. These have no effect until the 6minutes is up and, withou=
t=0A=
       them the "RTS battle" goes on forever.=0A=
=0A=
Add to the above a revert of r367492 and the RST battle goes away and thing=
s=0A=
behave as expected. The recovery happens quickly after the network is=0A=
unpartitioned, with either 0 or 1 RSTs.=0A=

ps: Once the irrelevant NFS patches make it into "main", I will upgrade to=
=0A=
     main bits-de-jur for testing.=0A=
