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);

No problem, I can apply that minimal change by hand.

Thanks again, Torsten
