Commit Message

This patch returns nlm_lck_blocked in nlmsvc_lock() when an asynchronous
lock request is pending. During testing I ran into the case with the
side-effects that lockd is waiting for only one lm_grant() callback
because it's already part of the nlm_blocked list. If another
asynchronous for the same nlm_block is triggered two lm_grant()
callbacks will occur but lockd was only waiting for one.

To avoid any change of existing users this handling will only being made
when export_op_support_safe_async_lock() returns true.

Looks reasonable. The block->b_list check is subtle, but the comment
helps.

thanks. To be honest, I am "a little bit" worried (I am thinking of
this scenario) that we might have a problem here with multiple
identically lock requests being granted at the same time. In such
cases the most fields of struct file_lock are mostly the same and
nlm_compare_locks() checks exactly on those fields. I am concerned
this corner case could cause problems, but it is a very rare case and
it makes totally no sense that an application is doing such a request.

I am currently trying to get an xfstest for this upstream.
