The patch titled knfsd: use new lock for svc_sock deferred list has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is knfsd-use-new-lock-for-svc_sock-deferred-list.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: use new lock for svc_sock deferred list From: Greg Banks <gnb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Protect the svc_sock->sk_deferred list with a new lock svc_sock->sk_defer_lock instead of svc_serv->sv_lock. Using the more fine-grained lock reduces the number of places we need to take the svc_serv lock.
