+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ceph: unlock dangling spinlock in try_flush_caps()"
+
+This reverts commit 55d4aa12af57ea7782f0c8bbc3b01e44673b05ba which is
+commit 6c2838fbdedb9b72a81c931d49e56b229b6cdbca upstream.
+
+The locking issue was not a problem in 3.18, and now sparse rightly
+complains about this being an issue, so go back to the "correct" code.
