Once Bruce is happy with the test results, you can pull it from

git+ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl.git flock

I've rewritten all the changelogs to make more sense as a series,
and split out the bits that turn lock_flocks into a spinlock to
come last, so we get a bisectable series.

The contents are left unchanged.

locks: turn lock_flocks into a spinlock

Nothing depends on lock_flocks using the BKL
any more, so we can do the switch over to
a private spinlock.

locks: avoid fasync allocation under lock_flocks

This splits fasync_helper into four functions: fasync_alloc,
fasync_free, fasync_insert_entry and fasync_remove_entry,
in order to allow the lease handling to call them directly
instead of going through fasync_helper.

The fasync_helper interface really doesn't make sense outside
of ->fasync file operations, which use the same calling
conventions of passing flags in and out as the helper.

After the change, fcntl_setlease can simply allocate the
new fasync_struct outside of lock_flocks, which is required
to turn that into a spinlock.

locks/nfsd: allocate file lock outside of spinlock

As suggested by Christoph Hellwig, this moves allocation
of new file locks out of generic_setlease into the
callers, nfs4_open_delegation and fcntl_setlease in order
to allow GFP_KERNEL allocations when lock_flocks has
become a spinlock.

lockd: fix nlmsvc_notify_blocked locking

nlmsvc_notify_blocked walks the nlm_blocked list,
which requires nlm_blocked_lock.

lockd: push lock_flocks down

lockd should use lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel()
to lock against posix locks accessing the i_flock list.

This is a prerequisite to turning lock_flocks into a
spinlock.
