thanks for cc'ing the file locking maintainer or the linux-fsdevel mailing lists. you know, like it says in MAINTAINERS. after all, if you'd done that you might've got a reply telling you it's a known bug, and even a workaround. as it is, i have no idea what Dave Olien's email address is, so i can't send him mail.
i have a patch, it passes the LTP when run on a local filesystem, but not over NFS which is why I haven't publicised it yet. Thanks to OSDL for giving me access to machines to test this kind of thing on.

note, do not use NFS when using this patch. really; i mean it. somehow i managed to corrupt thread_info.cpu causing _udelay_ to oops.
