From c64e80d55db81df22a7f25b75ab4ba4c55db4749 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 11:34:13 -0500 Subject: NLM: don't requeue block if it was invalidated while GRANT_MSG was in flight It's possible for lockd to catch a SIGKILL while a GRANT_MSG callback is in flight. If this happens we don't want lockd to insert the block back into the nlm_blocked list. This helps that situation, but there's still a possible race. Fixing that will mean adding real locking for nlm_blocked. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J.
