This patchset fixes the way that conflicts are detected when userland requests file delegations. The problem is due to a hack that was added long ago which worked up until userland could request a file delegation. This fixes the bug and makes things a bit less hacky. Please consider for v6.19.I would like a little more time to review this carefully, especially in light of similar work Dai has already posted in this area. If by "v6.19" you mean "not before v6.19-rcN where N > 3", then that WFM.
Ok. Do you have a specific concern? FWIW, I did mention to Dai that the first patch in this series would make it more palatable to handle his new lm_breaker_timedout operation in lease_dispose_list(). By v6.19, I mean before v6.19 ships. This bug needs to be fixed before we release a kernel that provides the new F_SETDELEG interface.
