[PATCH 6/7] LSEEK: NFS: Drop unnecessary locking in llseek

From: Andi Kleen <hidden>
Date: 2011-08-22 20:49:11
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

From: Andi Kleen <redacted>

This makes NFS follow the standard generic_file_llseek locking scheme.
