commit ce3c4ad7f4ce5db7b4f08a1e237d8dd94b39180b upstream. nfsd4_release_lockowner() holds clp->cl_lock when it calls check_for_locks(). However, check_for_locks() calls nfsd_file_get() / nfsd_file_put() to access the backing inode's flc_posix list, and nfsd_file_put() can sleep if the inode was recently removed. Let's instead rely on the stateowner's reference count to gate whether the release is permitted. This should be a reliable indication of locks-in-use since file lock operations and ->lm_get_owner take appropriate references, which are released appropriately when file locks are removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
