[PATCH] knfsd: match GRANTED_RES replies using cookies
When we send a GRANTED_MSG call, we current copy the NLM cookie provided in
the original LOCK call - because in 1996, some broken clients seemed to rely
on this bug. However, this means the cookies are not unique, so that when the
client's GRANTED_RES message comes back, we cannot simply match it based on
the cookie, but have to use the client's IP address in addition. Which breaks
when you have a multi-homed NFS client.
The X/Open spec explicitly mentions that clients should not expect the same
cookie; so one may hope that any clients that were broken in 1996 have either
been fixed or rendered obsolete.
