It is probably too late, but all the lines (without the | grep du) would be
more useful. I also include the "H" flag, so it lists threads as well as
processes. The above just says the "du" command is waiting for a vnode lock.
The interesting process/thread is the one that is holding a vnode lock
while waiting for something else.

Are you still getting the:
nfs_getpages: error 13
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 11355 (https)

messages logged?

With John's recent patch, the error# would no longer be 13 if it was
caused by the "intr" flag resulting in a Read RPC terminating with EINTR.
If you are still getting the above with "error 13", it suggests that
the server is replying EACCES for the Read RPC.
I suggested before that you check to make sure that the executable had
read access for everyone one the file server. Since I didn't hear back,
I'll assume this is the case.

ps: If it is still up and hasn't been rebooted, you could:
    sysctl debug.kdb.break_to_debugger=1
    - then type <ctrl><alt><esc> at the console and do the following
      from the debugger

    How well this work depends on what options your kernel was built with.
