Subject: [PATCH 008 of 8] knfsd: nfsd4: don't delegate files that have had conflicts


From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...ldses.org>


One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a
delegation on a file if conflicting access has previously required that
a delegation be revoked on that file.  (In practice we'll forget about
the conflict when the struct nfs4_file is removed on close, so this is
of limited use for now, though it should at least solve a temporary
problem with self-conflicts on write opens from the same client.)
