(cc'ing Trond and Scott...)

Yeah, I think you're correct. We really ought to hold the i_lock there
once we see that i_flock isn't NULL.

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if we ought to convert all of
this to using RCU. Being able to hold the rcu_read_lock instead of the
i_lock (or the flc_lock once the conversion is done) would be rather
nice.

Yes, that's the downside of moving to multiple list_heads. Still, I
think it's worth doing that even if we end up with the code a bit more
verbose.

It may be best to consider moving some of this into helpers that live
in locks.c. I really don't like having filesystems poke around in the
intimate details of the file locking code as a general rule...
