Huh?

<looks>
        if (fl->fl_file != NULL)
		inode = locks_inode(fl->fl_file);

So basically that's fl->fl_file ? "ADVISORY" : "*NOINODE*"?

How could that trigger, though?  With locks_mandatory_area() gone, I don't
see how FL_POSIX file_lock with NULL ->fl_file could be ever found...
Confused...

Why is locks_copy_conflock() exported (hell, non-static), BTW?

Is there any point in having the previous patch not folded into this one?
