  locks: inline posix_lock_file_wait and flock_lock_file_wait (2015-07-13 06:29:11 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
File locking related changes for v4.2 (pile #1)

I had thought that I was going to get away without a pull request this
cycle. There was a NFSv4 file locking problem that cropped up that I
tried to fix in the NFSv4 code alone, but that fix has turned out to be
problematic. These patches fix this in the correct way.

Note that this touches some NFSv4 code as well. Ordinarily I'd wait for
Trond to ACK this, but he's on holiday right now and the bug is rather
nasty. So I suggest we merge this and if he raises issues with it we
can sort it out when he gets back.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Layton (5):
      Revert "nfs: take extra reference to fl->fl_file when running a LOCKU operation"
      locks: have flock_lock_file take an inode pointer instead of a filp
      locks: new helpers - flock_lock_inode_wait and posix_lock_inode_wait
      nfs4: have do_vfs_lock take an inode pointer
      locks: inline posix_lock_file_wait and flock_lock_file_wait
