On the same lines, the lock should be taken in put_nfs4_file rather than in free_nfs4_file. That being said, I'm not sure we're unhashing the file in the right place... it's too late for me right now but my hunch is that open should alloc_init the nfs4_file as done today and close should unhash it (under the recall spinlock), and then put it. put_nfs4_file can stay the same and free_nfs4_file should just do the iput and kmem_cache_free. The main difference is that find_file will fail finding the nfs4_file struct after close. (get_nfs4_file in find_file should still happen under the lock though) Benny > get_nfs4_file(fp); > return fp; > } > } > + spin_unlock(&recall_lock); > return NULL; > } >
