From 0f1d26055068bbc66751d1974ecc6f0398b3ac67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 15:52:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Don't check lock owner compatibility in writes unless file is locked If we're doing buffered writes, and there is no file locking involved, then we don't have to worry about whether or not the lock owner information is identical. By relaxing this check, we ensure that fork()ed child processes can write to a page without having to first sync dirty data that was written by the parent to disk.
