# \[PATCH RFC 03/27\] lockd: let procfs copy in writes to nlm\_end\_grace - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:20:29 - List: linuxppc-dev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2026/11/17845494 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t/2.md ```text Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written before it pins the entry. simple_transaction_get() was only used to get a copy of what was written, so look at procfs' copy instead and drop the transaction. A second write to the same file doesn't fail with -EBUSY anymore. Writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail with -EINVAL from procfs instead of -EFBIG from simple_transaction_get(), which refused a few bytes less.
