Currently, nfs4_set_delegation takes a reference to an existing delegation and then checks to see if there is a conflict. If there is one, then it doesn't release that reference. Change the code to take the reference after the check and only if there is no conflict. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: J.
