Dell Unity: ls command hung on RHEL 8.4 client when mounting Unity NFS export via NFSv4 (User Correctable)

The issue is caused by the interaction between the Unity NFS server and the RHEL 8.4 clients running a kernel earlier than kernel-4.18.0-305.17.1.el8_4.  When the NFS server is sending a non-zero verifier in the READDIR Reply, the NFS client continues to send 0 for the cookie verifier in the subsequent READDIR Call.  This results in an endless READDIR loop which causes the ls command to hang forever. 

Workaround: 
- Mount the nfs export via NFSv3.

Permanent fix:

- From client side, the misbehavior is fixed in kernel-4.18.0-305.17.1.el8_4.

Details can be found from RHEL release.
