2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: J. Bruce Fields commit 55ef1274dddd4de387c54d110e354ffbb6cdc706 upstream. Since nfsv4 allows LOCKT without an open, but the ->lock() method is a file method, we fake up a struct file in the nfsv4 code with just the fields we need initialized. But we forgot to initialize the file operations, with the result that LOCKT never results in a call to the filesystem's ->lock() method (if it exists). We could just add that one more initialization. But this hack of faking up a struct file with only some fields initialized seems the kind of thing that might cause more problems in the future. We should either do an open and get a real struct file, or make lock-testing an inode (not a file) method. This patch does the former. Reported-by: Marc Eshel Tested-by: Marc Eshel Signed-off-by: J.
