The patch titled knfsd: Check return value of lockd_up in write_ports has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is knfsd-check-return-value-of-lockd_up-in-write_ports.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: knfsd: Check return value of lockd_up in write_ports From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> We should be checking the return value of lockd_up when adding a new socket to nfsd. So move the lockd_up before the svc_addsock and check the return value. The move is because lockd_down is easy, but there is no easy way to remove a recently added socket. Cc: "J.
