The intention of this code is to tell the client to return the granted

This is dead code because it's broken. Look carefully at it: it sets
open->op_delegate_type to NONE, then prints a warning if it isn't
NONE. The warning will never occur, and neither will the recall.
This is why the name of the patch is 'removing dead code'. I can be
more explicit and add the description you have here.
This code came from 99c415156c49 ("nfsd4: clean up
nfs4_open_delegation"). Can you have a look at that old commit and
make sure nfs4_open_delegation is working as it was originally
intended before it was cleaned up by that commit?
I don't see any functional differences before and after 99c415156c49
other than explicitly denying write delegation by 99c415156c49.
Even if you decide not to change the diff, the patch description
is confusing. out_no_deleg: can be invoked /after/ the switch
statement, so I'm not seeing how the OPEN/CLAIM_PREVIOUS case
is handled in that instance.
In the case of OPEN/CLAIM_PREVIOUS, if the back channel is not up then
op_recall is set to 1 and it continues on to call nfs4_set_delegation
to see if the delegation can be granted. If the delegation is granted
then the result of the OPEN is delegation granted but op_recall is set
to true, causing the client to return the delegation immediately.
The description also needs to at
least mention that the removed code never worked properly.
I will describe why it's dead code as mentioned above.
