nit: please align the values for readability. Probably also good to
wrap them in parenthesis -- e.g. "(1)".

I don't see any reason to use a mutex here. There are no critical
sections that sleep AFAICT. Why not use a spinlock which would be
smaller (4 bytes vs. 40 bytes on my x86_64 box)?

In fact, you could even consider just using the i_lock for this (though
I'd understand if you wanted to use your own).

This wait will just be used from cifs_oplock_break(), right? Since
that's a workqueue job, then we don't expect any signals there. I think
there's no need for checking signal_pending(). Just calling schedule()
is probably fine.

Looks good otherwise, and definitely something we need to fix since
it's a data corruptor. The final version of this should probably go to
stable for that reason...
