Comment 1 Jeff Layton 2010-03-08 18:04:17 UTC

This is a follow up bug to the original one that had a CVE. The panic caused by that bug is now fixed, but we still have non-optimal behavior. The setlk call here is returning ENOLCK, which is wrong.

The patch to fix this is now upstream, so we can pick it for RHEL5 and fix this the right way.
