Subject: NFS: struct nfs_commit_info.lock must always point to inode->i_lock
From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
commit f4086a3d789dbe18949862276d83b8f49fce6d2f upstream.
Commit 411a99adffb4f (nfs: clear_request_commit while holding i_lock)
assumes that the nfs_commit_info always points to the inode->i_lock.
For historical reasons, that is not the case for O_DIRECT writes.
