Doh! Well spotted...
Either fix sounds fine as long as we don't make generic_delete_lease
require a "flp" arg again. IOW, if you do make the code work similarly
to how it did before, then we should do:
return fl->fl_lmops->lm_change(before, F_UNLCK);
...rather than trying to use the ops from a completely different struct
file_lock argument that's passed in.
FWIW, I have an overhaul of the locking code that is queued for v3.20
that will also fix this (as we'll be moving all of the different locks
to separate lists), but we'll obviously need to queue up a patch for
stable for this in the interim.
Thanks!
