I think there's a fundamental flaw in your original patch.
You're casting fl->fl_owner to a struct nfs4_lockowner pointer, and
then dereferencing that pointer to get to the lo->lo_hashval field. The
problem there is that conflock might refer to a lock that is not a
nfsv4 lock, and in that case there is zero guarantee that the
fl_owner_t is a pointer at all, so that method could end up causing
oopses.
The fl_owner is really intended to be an opaque token, and you can't
turn it back into a pointer without knowing for a fact what sort of
lock it is. In the v4 case, we use the fl_lmops field to try and
designate that.
Perhaps you need to change it so that the conflocks get fl_lmops set
properly instead of changing things like you are in that patch?
