Subject: backport "nfsd: Fix general protection fault in
 release_lock_stateid()" to 4.4

Hi,

I’d like to request inclusion of commit f46c445b79906a9da55c13e0a6f6b6a006b892fe into the 4.4 series. This happens to us regularly on a 4.4.59 machine and a review of the released later changes in 4.4 show that this hasn’t made it into 4.4 yet.

I’m guessing that using “Option 2” of the stable kernel rules is applicable here as the patch is already accepted in a newer kernel but even when it got the ‘CC: stable@...r.kernel.org” it didn’t trickle down to 4.4.

Kind regards,
Christian

PS: Sorry Jeff, for getting a handful of mails about this as I’m discovering the right way to get this done for the first time. I’ll be happy to pay this debt in beer or other beverages.
