Hi Trond, This patch ends up fixing a problem related to recall of delegations. This problem has existed in the kernel for quite awhile (early RHEL 3.10-based release show the problem, haven't tried 2.6-based). If you agree with what I present, then can the commit message for this patch be changed to reflect that it solves this problem? Problem can be seen by running "nfstest_delegation --runtests recall26". Jorge can probably describe the test better but I believe the main client machine opens a file for read and gets a read delegation to it and locks it, then from a different process in the same machine there is an appending open (open for write is sent and gets a write delegation). From a different machine another client opens the same file which triggers a CB_RECALL. The main client, un-patched, ends up simply returning the delegation and never recovers the lock. This is pretty bad as it's possible data corruption case. In the nfs_delegation_claim_locks() this condition -- if (nfs_file_open_context(fl->fl_file) != ctx) -- is true when it should have been false. There seems to be a disagreement between what's in nfs_file_open_context(fl->fl_file) and what get_nfs_open_context(inode's ctx) returns but I don't think how this patch fixes it. But it does.
