From 9700382c3c9ff3e673e587084d76eedb3ba88668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "david m. richter" Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:39:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] VFS: fix a race in lease-breaking during truncate It is possible that another process could acquire a new file lease right after break_lease() is called during a truncate, but before lease-granting is disabled by the subsequent get_write_access(). Merely switching the order of the break_lease() and get_write_access() calls prevents this race. Signed-off-by: David M. Richter Signed-off-by: "J.
