The patch titled knfsd: nfsd4: don't delegate files that have had conflicts has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is knfsd-nfsd4-dont-delegate-files-that-have-had-conflicts.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: knfsd: nfsd4: don't delegate files that have had conflicts From: Meelap Shah <meelap@xxxxxxxxx> One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a delegation on a file if conflicting access has previously required that a delegation be revoked on that file. (In practice we'll forget about the conflict when the struct nfs4_file is removed on close, so this is of limited use for now, though it should at least solve a temporary problem with self-conflicts on write opens from the same client.)
