John Hubbard reports seeing the following stack trace:
nfs4_do_reclaim
rcu_read_lock /* we are now in_atomic() and must not sleep */
nfs4_purge_state_owners
nfs4_free_state_owner
nfs4_destroy_seqid_counter
rpc_destroy_wait_queue
cancel_delayed_work_sync
__cancel_work_timer
__flush_work
start_flush_work
might_sleep:
(kernel/workqueue.c:2975: BUG)
The solution is to separate out the freeing of the state owners
from nfs4_purge_state_owners(), and perform that outside the atomic
context.

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.
