[PATCH] NFS: Fix fcntl F_GETLK not reporting some conflicts

From: Sergey Vlasov
Date: Sun Nov 28 2010 - 16:10:42 EST


The commit 129a84de2347002f09721cda3155ccfd19fade40 (locks: fix F_GETLK
regression (failure to find conflicts)) fixed the posix_test_lock()
function by itself, however, its usage in NFS changed by the commit
9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c (locks: give posix_test_lock
same interface as ->lock) remained broken - subsequent NFS-specific
locking code received F_UNLCK instead of the user-specified lock type.
To fix the problem, fl->fl_type needs to be saved before the
posix_test_lock() call and restored if no local conflicts were reported.

There seems to be a similar bug in fs/9p/vfs_file.c:v9fs_file_getlock()
and an even worse confusion in fs/afs/flock.c:afs_do_getlk(), but I
can't test them.
