Yep. It is not filesystem specific.
nfsd does not flush locks when a filesystem is un-exported, only when
a client is removed, and that actually never happens.
In fs/nfsd/lockd.c there is a comment:
/*
* When removing an NFS client entry, notify lockd that it is gone.
* FIXME: We should do the same when unexporting an NFS volume.
*/
That FIXME needs to be fixed. I need to read through some more code
before I am sure how to do it, but it shouldn't be too hard.
