[RFC PATCH 1/4] Revert "nfs: take extra reference to fl->fl_file when running a LOCKU operation"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit db2efec0caba4f81a22d95a34da640b86c313c8e.

William reported that he was seeing instability with this patch, which
is likely due to the fact that it can cause the kernel to take a new
reference to a filp after the last reference has already been put.

Revert this patch for now, as we'll need to fix this in another way.
