Oh? Do you have some reason to suspect the setlk patch to be
problematic? If not, then I'd rather not revert that one (at least not
from mainline) since I don't think it's likely to be a problem and it
does fix a real bug. It's your call on what you do in stable of course.

Either way, I added the warning that I described before and got this,
so I do suspect that the unlck patch is the cause of the problem:

I'll see if I can cook up a better way to fix this. It's a little
tricky since in the event that the task had a signal pending, the filp
may be long gone by the time the reply to the LOCKU request comes in.

So, we may need to change the prototype of locks_remove_flock to take
an inode pointer and take a reference to that instead of the filp. That
should be safe, AFAICT since we definitely still hold a reference to
the inode at that point.
