Yes. It crashed here:
(gdb) list *(__locks_delete_block+0x14)
0xffffffff81391374 is in __locks_delete_block
(./include/linux/list.h:693).
688 n->pprev = LIST_POISON2;
689 }
690
691 static inline void hlist_del_init(struct hlist_node *n)
692 {
693 if (!hlist_unhashed(n)) {
694 __hlist_del(n);
695 INIT_HLIST_NODE(n);
696 }
697 }
...and that should be the address of fl->fl_link.
I think the issue is probably in locks_remove_posix. It creates a lock
request on the stack, and doesn't seem to initialize fl_link. That used
to be ok, but patch #5 in the series changes that.
The following patch seems to fix the problem in a quick test. I'll plan
to run some more tests later. It may be a day or two before I can get to
it though.
