For some reason, the wait_on_bit() in nfsd4_deleg_getattr_conflict() is waiting forever, preventing a clean server shutdown. The requesting client might also hang waiting for a reply to the conflicting GETATTR. Invoking wait_on_bit() in an nfsd thread context is a hazard. The correct fix is to replace this wait_on_bit() call site with a mechanism that defers the conflicting GETATTR until the CB_GETATTR completes or is known to have failed. That will require some surgery and extended testing and it's late in the v6.7-rc cycle, so I'm reverting now in favor of trying again in a subsequent kernel release. This is my fault: I should have recognized the ramifications of calling wait_on_bit() in here before accepting this patch. Thanks to Dai Ngo <dai.ngo@oracle.com> for diagnosing the issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
