From: Matthew Wilcox This patch fixes a memory leak in the file locking code. Each attempt to unlock a file would result in the leak of a file lock. Many thanks to Martin Josefsson for providing the testcase which enabled me to figure out the problem. 25-akpm/fs/locks.c | 21 ++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/locks.c~file-locking-leak-fix fs/locks.c --- 25/fs/locks.c~file-locking-leak-fix Fri Sep 12 14:05:05 2003 +++ 25-akpm/fs/locks.c Fri Sep 12 14:05:05 2003 @@ -221,7 +221,7 @@ void locks_copy_lock(struct file_lock *n static inline int flock_translate_cmd(int cmd) { if (cmd & LOCK_MAND) return cmd & (LOCK_MAND | LOCK_RW); - switch (cmd &~ LOCK_NB) { + switch (cmd) { case LOCK_SH: return F_RDLCK; case LOCK_EX: @@ -233,8 +233,8 @@ static inline int flock_translate_cmd(in } /* Fill in a file_lock structure with an appropriate FLOCK lock. */ -static int flock_make_lock(struct file *filp, - struct file_lock **lock, unsigned int cmd) +static int flock_make_lock(struct file *filp, struct file_lock **lock, + unsigned int cmd) { struct file_lock *fl; int type = flock_translate_cmd(cmd); @@ -247,7 +247,7 @@ static int flock_make_lock(struct file * fl->fl_file = filp; fl->fl_pid = current->tgid; - fl->fl_flags = (cmd & LOCK_NB) ?
