3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4b09ec4b14a168bf2c687e1f598140c3c11e9222 ] I have reports of a crash that look like __fput() was called twice for a NFSv4.0 file. It seems possible that the state manager could try to reclaim a lock and take a reference on the fl->fl_file at the same time the file is being released if, during the close(), a signal interrupts the wait for outstanding IO while removing locks which then skips the removal of that lock. Since 83bfff23e9ed ("nfs4: have do_vfs_lock take an inode pointer") has removed the need to traverse fl->fl_file->f_inode in nfs4_lock_done(), taking that reference is no longer necessary.
