From 843c6b2f4cef384af8e0de6b7ac7191675030e3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 14:27:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] locks: remove i_have_this_lease check from __break_lease I think that the intent of this code was to ensure that a process won't deadlock if it has one fd open with a lease on it and then breaks that lease by opening another fd. In that case it'll treat the __break_lease call as if it were non-blocking. This seems wrong -- the process could (for instance) be multithreaded and managing different fds via different threads. I also don't see any mention of this limitation in the (somewhat sketchy) documentation. Remove the check and the non-blocking behavior when i_have_this_lease is true.
