I got your point finally,
yes, you are right, now this cannot happen.
However I'm going to fix all affected filesystems and then revert
"ksmbd: force "fail immediately" flag on fs with its own ->lock"
When this happen and ksmbd will still use IS_SETLKW it will trigger the problems described below.
Thank you,
