Please cc the poor hapless NFS people too, who probably otherwise
wouldn't see it. And Arnd just in case it might be locking-related.

Trond, any ideas? The sysrq thing does imply that it's stuck in some
busy-loop in fs/nfs/dir.c, and line 647 is get_cache_page(), which in
turn implies that the endless loop is either the loop in
readdir_search_pagecache() _or_ in a caller. In particular, the
EBADCOOKIE case in the caller (nfs_readdir) looks suspicious. What
protects us from endless streams of EBADCOOKIE and a successful
uncached_readdir?
