	if (filp->f_op && filp->f_op->flock) {
		struct file_lock fl = {
			.fl_pid = current->tgid,
			.fl_file = filp,
			.fl_flags = FL_FLOCK,
			.fl_type = F_UNLCK,
			.fl_end = OFFSET_MAX,
		};
		filp->f_op->flock(filp, F_SETLKW, &fl);
		if (fl.fl_ops && fl.fl_ops->fl_release_private)
			fl.fl_ops->fl_release_private(&fl);
	}

So when the unlock above completed there should have been no posix file
locks left with fl_file == filp.

Nobody else should have a reference to filp when locks_remove_flock() is
called, which I think should ensure that no additional locks for filp
can appear after this point.

	lock_kernel();
	before = &inode->i_flock;

	while ((fl = *before) != NULL) {
		if (fl->fl_file == filp) {
			if (IS_FLOCK(fl)) {
				locks_delete_lock(before);
				continue;
			}
			if (IS_LEASE(fl)) {
				lease_modify(before, F_UNLCK);
				continue;
			}
			/* What? */
			BUG();

OK, but the fact that this BUG() is triggering means that a posix lock
was found.

--b.

 		}
		before = &fl->fl_next;
	}
	unlock_kernel();
