Error description
nfs v4 activities on the nfs v4 client machine will hang after the server got rebooted. You can see that there is a thread in the middle of a state change and it is calling either one of the dnlc_*() or makenfs4node(). The dnlc_*() or makenfs4node() is waiting for rinactive() to finish. rinactive() is waiting for IO to complete, the IO can not complete because reclaim is going on. reclaim can not complete because the thread is in the middle of state change.

Problem summary
nfs v4 activities on the nfs v4 client machine will hang after the server got rebooted. You can see that there is a thread in the middle of a state change and it is calling either one of the dnlc_*() or makenfs4node(). The dnlc_*() or makenfs4node() is waiting for rinactive() to finish. rinactive() is waiting for IO to complete, the IO can not complete because reclaim is going on. reclaim can not complete because the thread is in the middle of state change.
Problem conclusion
while in the middle of state change, don't call dnlc_*() function. And within makenfs4node(), always allocate, don't get the rnode off the freelist (unless the free rnode is not a file).
