+Subject: [PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race
+
+sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
+multi-thread case.
+
+Thread 1 Thread 2
+
+sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
+ sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
+
+If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
+list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
+end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
+
+Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
+to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.
+
+This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
+lockd handling of flock.
