Sorry, I think I wasn't clear. In CIFS we have two locks variant
according to whether we use POSIX extensions or not. In the case of
POSIX extensions enabled we use VFS brlock cache and it is mirrors the
locks we have on the remote side. So, everything is good in this case.

Let's look at the case when POSIX extensions are disabled - Windows
locking style. The brlocks behavior changes and we use our own cache
for them but we need to call posix_file_lock_wait at the end of
cifs_setlk  to make some use-cases work (e.g. unlock locks of the
child process when it finishes, etc) . And these locks are still
FL_POSIX locks from VFS point of view.

So, I am ok with your changes for POSIX extensions enabled case. Let's move

              return rc;

to the end of it.

And simply call do_vfs_lock() rather than posix_lock_file_wait() here
for Windows locking case.
