I've just sent the patch to the linux-nfs list. Thanks for the quick patch. In hindsight its obvious how the NULL got into nfs_clear_request_commit(), had I do not have to wonder if its fixed, or if I'm just not seeing it again. 648 if (req == NULL) 649 goto out_unlock; ... 683 out_unlock: 684 spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); 685 nfs_clear_request_commit(req); > I've copied and pasted below for reference, but there will probably be > white space errors. No problem, I can apply that minimal change by hand.
