[ Upstream commit deaa5c96c2 ]
When using Kerberos with v4.20, I've observed frequent connection
loss on heavy workloads. I traced it down to the client underrunning
the GSS sequence number window -- NFS servers are required to drop
the RPC with the low sequence number, and also drop the connection
to signal that an RPC was dropped.
Bisected to commit 918f3c1fe8 ("SUNRPC: Improve latency for
interactive tasks").
I've got a one-line workaround for this issue, which is easy to
backport to v4.20 while a more permanent solution is being derived.
Essentially, tk_owner-based sorting is disabled for RPCs that carry
a GSS sequence number.
