(cc'ing Peter...)

Well spotted. Yeah, I think you're right. The assertion is this:

  percpu_rwsem_assert_held(&file_rwsem);

I'm guessing this is probably fallout from the lglock to rwsem
conversion (commitÂaba376607383).

>From a quick glance, I think we probably just need to down_read the
file_rwsem in locks_remove_lease, prior to taking the flc_lock, and
release it just afterward. I do want to go over the code a little more
closely though to make sure other codepaths aren't missing that lock
though.

Thanks,
