[PATCH v2 07/15] nfsd: switch purge_old() to use start_removing_noperm()

From: NeilBrown

Date: Sun Feb 22 2026 - 20:17:41 EST


From: NeilBrown <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>

Rather than explicit locking, use the start_removing_noperm() and
end_removing() wrappers.
This was not done with other start_removing changes due to conflicting
in-flight patches.
