This is a new version of my patches to address a rare problem with nfsd closing files faster than __fput() can complete the close in a different thread. This time I'm simply switching to __fput_sync(). I cannot see any reason that this would be a problem, but if any else does and can show me what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, NeilBrown [PATCH 1/3] nfsd: use __fput_sync() to avoid delayed closing of [PATCH 2/3] nfsd: Don't leave work of closing files to a work queue. [PATCH 3/3] VFS: don't export flush_delayed_fput().
