    Mostly seen with non-UNIX NFS clients or clients that
    rely on the NLMPROC4_FREE_ALL call.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • AIX NFS server may crash, If NFS clients make NLMPROC4_FREE_ALL
    call to release all locks.
    

Problem conclusion

  • vnode list travarsal is bypassed if vfs type is MNT_PROCFS,
    MNT_AHAFS, MNT_UDF, MNT_CDROM. We should not go ahead and
    search for VNODEs on these VFS types.
