[PATCH 2/3] fs/locks: Remove fl_nspid

From: Benjamin Coddington
Date: Tue Jun 06 2017 - 16:45:42 EST


Since commit c69899a17ca4 "NFSv4: Update of VFS byte range lock must be
atomic with the stateid update", NFSv4 has been inserting locks in rpciod
worker context. The result is that the file_lock's fl_nspid is the
kworker's pid instead of the original userspace pid.

The fl_nspid is only used to represent the namespaced virtual pid number
when displaying locks or returning from F_GETLK. There's no reason to set
it for every inserted lock, since we can usually just look it up from
fl_pid. So, instead of looking up and holding struct pid for every lock,
let's just look up the virtual pid number from fl_pid when it is needed.
That means we can remove fl_nspid entirely.
