Trond--you mentioned noticing some locks_copy_locks() abuses; is this what you were thinking of? --b. commit 07c5abe6899d8ab49368604e64894821d4f60bf9 Author: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 24 10:08:22 2008 -0400 locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock. The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when copying to it. This also saves the need for an unnecessary locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server. Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error. Signed-off-by: J.
