This patch adjusts the code so that the alignment matches the current
semantics.  I have no idea if it is the intended semantics, though.  Should
the call to nfs_setsecurity also be under the else?

This call to nfs_setsecurity() is not needed. The security only needs
to be set when the i-node is created...

Hi Julia,

Thanks for pointing this out! Given that the 'then' clause of the if
statement already calls nfs_setsecurity before unlocking the inode, I
suspect that the above _should_ really be part of the 'else' clause.

That said, I can't see that calling nfs_setsecurity twice on the inode
can cause any unintended side-effects, so I suggest that we rather queue
the patch up for inclusion in 3.12.
Steve and Dave, any comments?



I can't see why it would be needed either. I agree with Steve. We can get rid of it.

Dave
