2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: J. Bruce Fields commit 89996df4b5b1a09c279f50b3fd03aa9df735f5cb upstream. If lockd is signalled soon enough after restart then locks_start_grace() will try to re-add an entry to a list and trigger a lock corruption warning. Thanks to Wang Chen for the problem report and diagnosis. WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:26 __list_add+0x27/0x5c() ... list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ef8fe958), but was ef8ff128. (next=ef8ff128). ...
